NATCHEZ CELEBRATES THE BLOOMS!

​The city is awash in blooms! As our sweet friend Rita Tebbetts, an Adams Country Master Gardener, likes to say, "Mother Nature didn't get the CoVid memo!

Last year year, I founded the Natchez International Crepe Myrtle Festival because the extraordinary Crepe Myrtle Blooms of Natchez are worth celebrating! While there’s not a festival with speakers this year, our Committee members have created a perfect experience to Celebrate the Blooms!

In coming days, we will proudly offer three self-guided tours to celebrate the blooms. These FREE tours have been developed by Crepe Myrtle Historian and Committee member, Elaine Gemmell:

• Bloom Drive - A Driving Tour that takes in top gardens 
• Historic Natchez City Cemetery - Established in 1822 and it's breathtaking! Drive or walk and see over 490 trees. 
• Downtown Walking Tour - Sip & See the largest concentration of trees in the city. Route includes the city's Go-Cup district.

Further, Mayor Darryl Grennell assures us that Natchez is open!

10,000 Blooming
Trees & Counting!

​So here's a summer sightseeing trip idea: take in some of the loveliness and deliciousness that Natchez offers and experience the city in a low contact manner! 

Rita Tebbetts tells us the trees are still moving towards peak season and that the blooms should be pretty possibly even into August!
