MRS. HOWE’S GARDEN

          On sunny spring Sunday afternoons, after church and Sunday dinner, many a Nashvillian from the 1930’s to the 1960’s, took a drive over to 1925 East Greenwood Avenue for a look at “Wildings,” the splendid garden of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Howe. The eight acres, filled with dogwood, redbuds, azaleas and a half acre of wildflowers, all under a canopy of venerable oaks, beeches, maples and hickories, was for almost forty years one of Nashville’s most famous gardens. It was featured in books and magazines and attracted numerous visitors each day. Mrs. Howe herself warmly welcomed the visitors she loved so well, offering lemonade and homemade cookies along with a personal tour of the garden.
