Memphis Botanic Garden

I have not been out here in a very long time & I was amazed at how much it had changed! It's much larger & so beautiful! Had a great time with my bestie! The folks at the front desk were so friendly & nice, we ended up getting a family subscription & plan to make many more trips. Very calm & serene. We would have stayed longer because it's a all day adventure, but closed early for a concert a concert. 🥰

The Memphis Botanic Garden is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend a few hours. The gardens are very well maintained, with a great variety of plants, flowers, and themed areas — from the Japanese Garden to the Butterfly Garden. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, taking photos, or enjoying nature in the city. The staff are friendly, and there are plenty of spots to sit and take in the scenery. A great place for families, couples, or anyone who loves nature and tranquility!

It is always a joy visiting the garden. The grounds are huge very well cultivated, you can tell a lot of love and work goes into the garden. Definitely recommend getting the annual pass, it's effectively paid for itself after a short period of time given how frequently I visit the place. While definitely popular (for great reasons!) w the local schools and for weddings and photo shoots, still large enough to have some privacy and peace even at peak hours. The Asian garden and the herb garden are probably my favorite sections of the whole place.

This place is huge, we spent almost 3 hours walking, reading and learning about plants. Unfortunately it was a hot summer day and there are no beverages vending machines anywhere. We had to settle with fountain water. Be sure you pack plenty cold soda it will help you thru the garden. The admission ticket is only $12 for adult what a bargain. This place is good for family outing. The garden is well maintained. Their gift shop is tiny and not much selection.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting the Memphis Botanical Gardens, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The gardens offer a wonderful splash area for kids, making it a perfect spot for families. On the day we visited, there were also several booths, beautiful artwork available for purchase. The shaded sitting areas throughout the gardens provide a serene environment to relax and soak in the beauty around you. The greenhouse is particularly stunning, filled with vibrant plants and flowers that truly capture the essence of the gardens. One of my favorite aspects of this venue is the welcoming policy that allows visitors to bring their own food. It creates such a romantic and charming atmosphere for a picnic date night amidst the breathtaking surroundings. Additionally, the gardens feature an events building, making it an ideal location for hosting special occasions. How fantastic is that? I left feeling inspired and rejuvenated, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend this treasure in Memphis!

Nice gardens. Well set up. Lots of art interspersed among the well placed gardens. Hannah, the horticulturist is friendly, knowledgeable and generous with her knowledge.

Get lost in this Beautiful Garden(s). Make sure to have plenty of time to dedicate to seeing all the different plants and environments. Learn how to homestead. See bananas in the green house. Feed the coy fish in the Japanese garden. Everything is magnificent!!

My girlfriend and I had an amazing day at the Memphis Botanic Garden. We packed a picnic and spent the day exploring the 95 acres of beautiful gardens. We especially loved the serene Japanese Garden, the steamy Tropical House, the buzzing Pollinator Garden, and the magical Living Gazebo. We were a little bummed when we got to the gift shop and it was closed, but a super nice lady saw us and reopened it just for us! It was an awesome way to end the day. We'd highly recommend it, but if you go in the summer, definitely wear shorts and bring a backpack cooler.
