The Vanderbilt Museum will host its first Gardeners Showcase during spring and summer 2018. The museum invites local nurseries and garden designers to show off their skills and creativity in one of the gardens that grace the 43-acre waterfront estate, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
