Memorial Day Weekend Happenings

Cheekwood Re-Opening

• Friday, May 22nd
• Cheekwood will reopen its 55-acre garden. The reopening will also extend to gardens that had been closed for renovations for the past several months including the beloved Blevins Japanese Garden and the much-anticipated Ann & Monroe Carell Jr. Family Sculpture Trail.
• To minimize physical contact and practice social distancing, Cheekwood will only be accepting advance ticket reservations made online. No tickets will be sold on-site. Daily tickets are timed-entry and are limited in order to manage safe capacity. Members are required to reserve free visits online. Read the Visitor Guidelines here.

Strawberry Picking

• It’s Berry Picking Season! Here are a few farms that are offering U-Pick Strawberries this year. Some are not offering it due to social distancing. We went to Kelley’s and felt safe. We did not come in close contact with anyone except for paying (FYI-they only accept cash) but please use your own discretion*
• Kelley’s Berry Farm, Circle S Farms, Crafton Farms, Bottom View Farm, P and P Farms, Woodall’s Strawberries and Head’s Farms.
