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.

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.

Yes! Pleasant and beautiful to stroll through and just enjoy the views. Well done. Was that real bird sounds I heard or a speaker with bird sounds on a loop? Cool either way.

Free botanical garden with picnic tables, a childrens’ area, a shady walking path, and plants galore. Lots of bunnies, birds, and bees :) Free, designated parking lot

My toddler loves these gardens so much! We love coming here every season, and exploring the walkways, plants, and just enjoying nature. Truly a gem of Knoxville.

Visited at the end of March, absolutely beautiful place and a great activity to do that is free! Lots of good food nearby.

The fact that this place is free it's crazy! I love this garden! You can feel the love of the people who care for it. It shows in how gorgeous and magical the whole place looks. If it wasn't for the high school prom kids who were taking pictures everywhere, I would have had the best time. Seriously magical. Maybe I'll try a random Tuesday in the middle of the day or the summer.
