11/30/2007 Stephen L. Betts Groundbreaking ceremonies were held recently for the 2,700-square-foot Nashville Music Garden, which will be located downtown in the Hall of Fame Park just across the street from the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The idea for the garden, which will be created over the next few months, blossomed when Barbara Mandrell gave her namesake rose to friend and avid gardener, Pat Bullard of LifeWorks Foundation, who recognized it as a way to acknowledge the music and artists synonymous with Nashville and also to beautify Music City. The Nashville Music Garden will feature flora of The Nashville Music Collection, a special collection of roses named after artists, music industry leaders and songs related to Music City, including artists Barbara Mandrell, Amy Grant, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Lynn Anderson, Elvis Presley, Pam Tillis, Minnie Pearl and the songs “Ring of Fire,” “Tennessee Waltz,” “Rocky Top,” and “Passionate Kisses,” to name just a few.
