BELLS, Tenn. — A Crockett County man has opened his flower garden to the public.

When Bill Reinke first bought his home, it was nothing but a field.

From trees to flower beds, his wife designed the layout and Reinke dug. Reinke’s wife passed away a year and a half ago.

Reinke shares that she was ‘the flower person’ and that she loved Irises. Together the couple introduced around 165 plants into the market.

Reinke and his late wife moved to Crockett county from Memphis. He shares their priorities in the process.

“Before we even built the house, we started the flower beds in the fields so the beds were started before the house was even built and that’s been almost 35 years ago,” said Reinke.

Reinke’s Garden is free and open to the public Friday, Saturday and Sunday at anytime.

There are Daylilies for guests to dig up at root for $10 and much more.

There are also peacocks on the property.

Reinke’s Garden is located at 3314 Gum Flat Road, in Bells.
