Spring in Nashville is one hell of a ride in Nashville, Tennessee. One week, it is bright, sunny and 75 and then the next will be tornadoes, hail, and flooding for DAYZ. It's a real toss up of whatcha gonna get hour by hour. But when it's good... IT'S GOOD! So you wanna get in on this amazing weather and return of live music?! Let me show you my Nashville spring bucket list that I am working through this spring in Nashville! You're gonna wanna check into some of these unique things to do!

Go Plant Shopping

I am absolutely obsessed with plant shops, which is why my living room is a jungle. That's why freshening up my pad with some plants was first on my Nashville spring bucket list. CHECK! Wondering what the best spots are here in town to deck your place out?! Hewitt's has the best selection of unique plants. Flora in East Nashville for her shop vibes. Denizen for the BEST pots! I could go on and on about plants and plant stores. Make sure to stay tuned for a plant shop blog coming soon, plant mamas!

Hike Narrows of the Harpeth

The Harpeth River is a super popular summer spot with amazing kayaking and canoeing! But did you know it is home to one of the coolest, spring hikes close to downtown Nashville?! It's called Narrows of the Harpeth. This short but steep hike has amazing views and if you don't do anything else this spring, check this one out. Not only is there cliff views, there are other hiking trails, including that mini waterfall.

Watch Everything Bloom

Centennial Park, Percy Warner, and Bicentennial Park are three of my top places to walk around in the spring. Trees are blooming, flowers be popping' off and all the baby animals are all around town, so you won't miss it. Downtown also holds a cherry blossom festival every year near the Capital Building. There are options for pick your own flowers, at places like Liberty Grace Farms, or grab a bouquet from local farms, like Natchez Glen House!

Mural Hunt Spring Edition

Wanna add a little bit of spring vibe to your feed? These colorful murals all over town and let's get real spring fashion is everything. Make a day out of it with someone you know loves to mural hunt too! Check PhotoWalk Your Travel who can take you on a personal photo tour of the best murals in town.

Waterfall Chasin’

Summer is always the most popular time to do some of the fun swimming hole hikes. But if you wanna see the waterfalls gushing and don’t mind a cool misty hike, check out Tennessee’s natural waterfalls. A few of my favorites are Cummins Falls, Greeter Falls, and Rock Island State Park.
