My First Fling: Memphis 2025

May 29, 2025 By Lucy Mercer Leave a Comment

I’ve got Paul Simon’s voice bouncing in my head this week. “I’m going to Graceland, Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.” While I may not make it to actual Graceland, I will be in Memphis for the first time ever touring gardens with The Fling, June 5 through 9. It’s formerly The Garden Bloggers Fling, now simply The Fling. I’ve watched my Instagram feed for years while my favorite garden bloggers and social media influencers view spectacular gardens across the country. I almost made it to the Seattle Fling in 2024, but life got in the way. This year, they’re swinging South, and I’m headed their way.

Look to my Instagram and Facebook feeds for pictures from Memphis. And if you have any great tips for restaurants and must-see attractions (Graceland, The Peabody Hotel and the ducks), just let me know.
