Exchange Place’s Spring Garden Fair will be held Saturday, April 29th, 2023, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and on Sunday, April 30th, 2023, from 12 – 5 p.m. at Exchange Place Living History Farm in Kingsport, TN.
Admission at the gate is $5 for adults and free for children under 12.
Thousands of plants will be for sale – perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs – with the emphasis on natives, herbs and heirloom plants (including a wide variety of heirloom tomatoes), along with garden-related arts and crafts.
Heritage breeds of animals and the spring activities of a mid-1800’s farmstead will be featured as Exchange Place volunteers shear the sheep, spin and weave the wool, cook on the open hearth, and shape iron over the forge. Ol’ timey music and traditional foods add to the atmosphere.
Proceeds from the event help to feed and care for the farm animals, provide educational programming, and help with the restoration and upkeep of the site, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A calendar has been created called the This is Kingsport events calendar which will serve as a non-public forum to provide citizens with information about social and organizational gatherings held within the city. The city will disseminate information to the public through this online calendar about social and organizational gatherings which are conducted or promoted by community partners with which the city currently has partnership agreements. Additionally, social or organizational gatherings held on city owned property to which the public at large is invited will be published on this calendar.
Each year the city enters into partnership agreements with multiple community partners some of whom in turn support the city by organizing events or promoting events of members and affiliates. By creating a common source for the dissemination of information about community events the city will be furthering its support of those community partners which in turn support the city. Moreover, the city wishes to and will benefit from highlighting gatherings which will be of benefit and enjoyment to the public.
Community partners may communicate their events or those which they promote to the city which will disseminate the information through the event calendar. Furthermore, the city of Kingsport will publish on the calendar those community events which are held on city property. In order to achieve the city’s goals only those events described herein will be published on the This is Kingsport event calendar which will be curated by city staff.
