This summer, we're getting back out in public again, so what better way to spend these lovely evenings than contemplating local gardens. We’ll offer a virtual tour of Knoxville's gardens to enjoy from your air-conditioned and pest-free homes. Even gardening enthusiasts may not be aware of all the public and semi-public green spaces Knoxville has to offer, from Lonsdale's Racheff Gardens (below) to East Knoxville's Botanical Gardens and Arboretum. Just in time for summer, we'll be discussing what we know of them and the sometimes-exotic stories behind them.

Anyone who spends time outdoors in warm weather needs to be aware of diseases that can be transmitted by ticks. According to the CDC, tick-borne illnesses doubled in the U.S. between 2014 and 2016. Because ticks are so small, people might not even notice when they’ve been bitten by one. Sponsored by the UT Arboretum Society and the Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning, Dr. Richard Gerhold will discuss the eco-epidemiology of tick-borne diseases in a Zoom presentation on Thursday, June 24th at 7:00 p.m.

Registration for this free online event is required to receive your Zoom link. Contact Michelle Campanis regarding any questions or registration issues: mcampani@tennessee.edu This is a virtual Zoom presentation and registration for this free online event is required. To register go to: www.utarboretumsociety.org and click on the event. The program will be recorded.

Dr. Gerhold is an assistant professor of parasitology in the Department of Biomedical and Diagnostic Sciences at the University of Tennessee’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Gerhold holds a B.S. in wildlife science and a DVM from Purdue University, as well as M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in veterinary pathology from the University of Georgia. He completed a two-year National Science Foundation-funded post-doctoral fellowship at UT’s Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Department, researching Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases.
