Update: We are committed to the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers, and staff, especially in light of concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. The wonder of the UT Gardens, Knoxville is that there will always be something in bloom any time you visit after the orders are lifted. At this time the Gardens are open to visitors, provided that proper social distancing is maintained.
Thank you for your support of the UT Gardens during Big Orange Give on Wednesday, November 18! Each year the Volunteer community joins together for this annual day of giving. The UT Gardens had a goal of $15,000 but your generosity helped us reach 183% of that goal - $27,395 to support the UT Gardens in Knoxville, Crossville, and Jackson. We are very grateful for your support!
