UT Gardens Knoxville

Went 1/12, chilly and not really any foot traffic. The garden was obviously not in bloom, but we still loved every second of it. It’s so cool how they have the Native mound / along with multiple type of ethnic symbology around the gardens. We loved looking at the trees / palms / cacti. Parking is a row that is labeled for UT gardens, don’t park in a spot not labeled for that. Hopefully sometime we can come by when it’s in bloom, thank you UT for the beautiful garden(s)!

Nice gardens, especially in spring and summer. Limited free 2 hour visitor parking. Rose garden waterfall and fish is pretty. Some nice covered spots for picnic lunches. Can be noisy due to road traffic. Be sure to avoid football and basketball games though

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!

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

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.

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.
