What does Fall for Cheekwood support?
Fall for Cheekwood raises funds for Destination Cheekwood, which is the premier method of community education and outreach at Cheekwood. Destination Cheekwood offers free field trips to all school groups from Tennessee, Southern Kentucky, and Northern Alabama. This outreach program gives children in grades pre-K through 12 the chance to spend the day at Cheekwood in the best outdoor classroom, learning about art, history, and botanical gardens. Students can learn about pollinators and garden ecosystems, understand how trees communicate, explore multiculturalism in the Blevins Japanese Garden, and more. Other field trip topics include Animal Ecosystems, Parts of a Plant, and Tree Exploration! Every field trip curriculum is up to state standards and led by trained educators.
In 2023, Cheekwood welcomed 11,915 students from 153 schools, thanks in large part to the generosity of our donors like you! To learn more about Destination Cheekwood, click here.
