Welcome 
to the Friends of 
the UT Gardens Web site. 
Friends of the UT Gardens is a group of interested citizens organized to support 
the University of Tennessee Gardens. One of Knoxville's treasures, the Gardens 
feature more than 1,400 varieties of annuals, perennials and ornamental shrubs. 
 
                   
Within this site, you will learn about the many events held throughout the year 
to raise funds to support the research and programs in the Gardens. We invite 
you to browse through our pages and we welcome you to join our ranks.  |
