If you’ve got a green thumb or are just looking to add some beauty to your home, be sure to check out the annual plant sale at the Memphis Botanic Garden. Starting today and running all weekend long, this event is a great opportunity to stock up on plants, flowers, and maybe even some gardening advice! Just a note: today is exclusive to MBG members, but don’t fret if you’re not a member, as the sale will open to the public tomorrow and Sunday. The hours for today are from noon until 4 p.m.
For those who fancy a pint, you can’t miss the Oktoberfest Brewery Tours taking place this weekend. This is the perfect chance to tour three local breweries and sip on some delightful seasonal brews.

So don your best Dirndls and Lederhosen, and prepare for a day filled with dancing, singing, and indulging in the delicious flavors of Germany. It all kicks off at Chimes Square, so get ready to enjoy a night to remember!
In the mood for some family fun? Drive over to Lakeland’s Harvest Festival on Saturday. This family-friendly event is free and features trick-or-treat stations, face-painting, games, and more! You’ll also find a costume contest divided into age categories, starting with little ones aged two and under at 1:15 p.m. It’s a perfect way to kick off the spooky season in a fun and safe environment!
