Visit the Garden

The Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum sits on a ridge-top 5 minutes from downtown Knoxville surrounded by an urban community. The gardens are a magical place with whimsical round stone buildings, stone-sided greenhouses and secret garden paths and alleys. Today, mature specimens of rare and unusual trees and shrubbery remain, surrounded by thousands of feet of beautiful stone walls that define the planting areas. The process of identifying, mapping and tagging every tree, plant and shrub on the property is underway.

We want your visit at Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum to be an enjoyable one. Please assist us in protecting and promoting these wonderful Gardens.
