Thanks to April showers, we will reopen two of our featured gardens this June!

On June 3 & 4, we will open GATOP garden, a beautiful 10 acre garden in East Knoxville off Riverside Drive. This is an amazing property which is archived with the Smithsonian Institute and features an extensive sculpture collection.

On June 10 & 11, we will open Savage garden, a garden in the middle of Fountain City. After many years of extensive restoration, Savage Garden is once again the kind of magical place envisioned by Arthur Savage a hundred years ago. This garden is located at 3237 Garden Drive. Dogwood Arts' Featured Gardens are sponsored by ORNL Federal Credit Union.

This event is free though a $5 donation on-site is suggested.
