Bachman Community Center’s annual Home and Garden Show returns Saturday, April 29 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. A longtime tradition at Bachman, the event showcases plants and unique items from local vendors.

“It’s a great opportunity for people to buy some native plants for their yards and improve their curb appeal,” said Katy Murphy, marketing and programs manager for Bachman Community Center.

New this year is a talk by local historian and author the Rev. James Douthat, who will speak on the history of Walden’s Ridge in the Bachman auditorium beginning at 10:30 a.m. The free program will focus on the ridge’s early settlements, including details about schools, prominent families and local landmarks. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and pick Douthat’s brain about the community’s fascinating past, Murphy said.

“He was involved in the founding [of Bachman Community Center] nearly 20 years ago, and it’s really exciting to have him back,” she said.

The Signal Mountain Lions Club will be firing up the grill to sell hamburgers and hot dogs starting at 11 a.m.
