NEW for 2026!
Marigold River
Bringing a bold sweep of color to the estate, a new Marigold River of more than 2,500 orange, red, and yellow blooms lines the walkway from the Bradford Robertson Color Garden to Arboretum Lawn. Follow this vibrant ribbon of flowers to the Pumpkin Village, where three interactive pumpkin houses, thousands of colorful pumpkins, and brilliant fall foliage create a charming, undeniable fall feeling and a picture-perfect backdrop.
Stroll the Scarecrow Trail to discover 15 storybook-inspired creations by local artists and organizations, then pick out a pumpkin and bring a bit of the harvest home with you.

2026 Theme: Once Upon a Harvest…
A frog and a toad,
A mouse with a cookie,
Even a princess and a pea,
Turn these storybook pages
Life-size for all to see!
There’s something lurking in these trees: Scarecrows at Cheekwood! We’re hosting a few familiar guests along the Carell Dogwood Trail this year. Memorable characters and creatures from beloved storybooks will light up the trail day and night. A not-so-scary twist to these books will bring a sweet, but spooky, flair to the gardens this fall.
