Breeden’s Orchard

Peak peach season is here and Breeden’s Orchard is celebrating with Peach Fest — a sun-soaked celebration of everything fresh, juicy, and peach-inspired July 11 – 12 & July 17 – 18.
Spend the day picking perfectly ripe peaches straight from the trees with Breeden’s U-Pick experience, then explore the festival grounds for seasonal eats and drinks made with the fruit of the moment — peach pastries, cobblers, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and small-batch treats from local makers.
Shop local vendors, grab a drink, and kick back to live music in the open air. It’s a laid-back, family-friendly weekend built for slowing down, getting outside, and celebrating peaches at their very best.

5Kokedama – Plant Workshop
Saturday, July 18
4pm – 6pm
Circle P Ranch
563 E Main St, Mt Juliet
Discover the art of kokedama, a Japanese-inspired planting style that celebrates simplicity, nature, and the beauty of imperfection.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your own moss-wrapped plant using natural materials and guided instruction. No two kokedama are exactly alike, and that’s the point. Rooted in the philosophy of wabi-sabi, this practice invites you to let go of perfection and appreciate the imperfect.
This class is designed for all ages and experience levels. For children under 10, 1 project for both parent & child to work together is recommended. This is a beginner, plant-killer-friendly class! Perfect for sensory seekers!
Come get your hands in the dirt and create something beautifully imperfect.
