Celebrating its 23rd year, the Antiques and Garden Show of Nashville brings together antique and horticultural dealers, gardens and speakers for three days: February 8, 9 and 10, 2013.

It all takes place in the Nashville Convention Center, 601 Commerce Street, Nashville, Tennessee (map), from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

The trio of lecturers this year is Bunny Williams, Eileen Johnson and Emily Thompson. The last two are part of FlowerSchool New York, which provides floral design classes for enthusiasts and floral professionals alike.

Guest experts are Gil Schafer, Cornelia Guest and Robert Balentine, founder of the Southern Highlands Reserve, a native plant arboretum and research center located in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

In addition to five demonstration gardens, there will be myriad horticulture vendors (everything from plants to garden whimsey).

Tickets for all the events are available online, so you can plan your weekend.

The show benefits ECON and Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art.
