Cool Off in Nashville's Japanese Garden at Cheekwood

You wanna beat the heat this summer? Make it to Cheekwood when they open at 9:00, and you can do it! Or you can just watch my video tours from the air conditioned comfort of your home. I toured Cheekwood's Blevins Japanese Garden promptly when they opened one Saturday morning, and I had the place all to myself. From the calm cool breezes in the bamboo forest to the shady Japanese Maples to the shelter of the viewing pavilion, this Japanese Garden has a lot of ways to help you beat the sweltering southern summer heat!

The path through the bamboo gives a very relaxed feeling

Totally does! And even though there's no water in the actual Japanese garden, there's a pond and a fountain nearby, and that's what you hear as you start into the bamboo.
