The weather is getting warmer, and we are finally starting to see green in the trees again. Spring is here, and I am more than thrilled for the sunshine and flowers. Here in the Smokies, spring also means Dollywood's Flower & Food Festival. This award-winning festival is returning for its third year and guests will see new elements and returning favorites. But, the park isn't the only Dollywood property celebrating this floral festival. Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa will have its own bloom-filled fun. Guests at DreamMore Resort during Dollywood's Flower & Food Festival will enjoy a variety of festival foods, activities and de©cor during their stay.
