UT Gardens Knoxville

Very nice gardens. Easily walkable paths and most plant species have identification labels. Cost is free but donations accepted. Dedicated parking behind Vet School. Also has a very neat children's area with tunnels, hobbit mounds and shady seating areas. Plant selection is great and I can see they planned for extended blooming during the warm seasons.

The most beautiful exquisite gardens and I only saw them in the later stages. And still gorgeous. Spring may be best for the flowers. But , there are sculptures and fun surprises in the gardens. It's a great walk , many flat areas to walk as well. There are vegetable gardens that are organic and pesticides separate gardens , run by the UT students with utmost care. I've never seen such a variety of trees, plants, flowers cactus 🌵. This is FREE ya'll! A gem in Knoxville. Though, I'm sure support would be welcome!

What a super place to meet old friends living far apart. We ate lunch nearby and then spent a couple of hours wandering through the plants, trees, and flowers. Beautiful layout! Trails are accessible for all. There were so many places to sit and visit tucked within the gardens. I just loved it. And a children's play area. Loved the Bunny theme. A great place to enjoy a quick picnic lunch or wander for hours. Highly recommend.

I love my little town, y’all. I love that this place is so easily accessible, with shaded areas to sit and eat while fans gently blow, the peaceful sound of koi fish gliding through the water, the sight of gorgeous okra growing, bunnies happily snacking, and tomatoes ripening on the vine. I truly feel so blessed to be here and couldn’t be prouder to call Knoxville Tennessee home. I can’t help but wonder what they’ll dream up next after these charming bunnies, and discovering them and reading about their stories has been such a sweet and endearing experience.

What a great outdoor venue. A family place. Enjoyed checking out the veg garden. Saw what left in the late fall.

As a horticulturist I enjoyed what was growing great but was sad for some of it to be less ideal-mosquitos were bad so we didn't stay as long as we Intended. We loved the bunnies and facts!

Great place the plants are beautiful. These 2 trees are from Brian White Nursery few years ago look how big today.

Just went to the 2025 cancer Walkathon!!! First for both the walk and visiting the gardens! It was awesome on both sides of that adventure!!!
