The Bradley’s also have a large selection of spring bedding plants, herbs, vegetable plants, ferns and hanging baskets grown in their own farm greenhouses.
 
On April 25th, Pick Tennessee Products will be at Circle S Farms near Lebanon, owned by Nelson, Emmie Lou and Donnie Steed.

Media will have the opportunity to interview farmers and officials in attendance, take a tour of the farm, and will receive a “goody bag” including digital images and information about local foods and farms.
