Garden Gatherings
Based on the overwhelming popularity of our annual Featured Gardens events, Dogwood Arts is proud to introduce a brand-new series: Garden Gatherings. We are bringing you exclusive, behind-the-gates access to private gardens all across Knoxville.
​
These hidden gems are just as special as our featured gardens, but because they don't have the parking capacity to accommodate hundreds of visitors, we’ve tailored these events to be smaller gatherings with a much more intimate feel.
​
Each gathering will have a limited number of tickets available. Because the demand to visit Knoxville's beautiful private gardens is so high, you will want to grab yours the moment they go on sale!
​
These fundraising events directly support the Dogwood Arts Trails & Gardens program.
The first Garden Gathering is coming up on Saturday, June 27th from 11AM-2PM!

June 27th: A Riverfront Retreat
Step into a picturesque mid-June morning where lush landscapes and refreshing waters meet. Join us for an exclusive, sun-dappled gathering on a spectacular private farm.
​
The Experience:
​
-
Peak-Bloom Beauty: Begin your morning overlooking a serene pond and a spacious orchard, perfectly framed by the property's stunning, peak-bloom hydrangeas.
-
Sips & Bites: Mingle with fellow garden lovers while enjoying a curated selection of delicious daytime bites, perfectly paired with free-flowing mimosas and our signature garden-fresh cocktails.
-
Riverfront Relaxation: Once we’ve sipped, snacked, and soaked in the hilltop views, we’ll take a leisurely stroll down to the scenic banks of the French Broad River. Feel free to kick off your shoes, dip your toes in the cool, rushing water, and embrace the ultimate relaxing summer experience.
​
Space is highly limited for this perfect blend of brilliant blooms, bubbly, and breathtaking riverfront views.
