About the Gardens:
• GATOP - 'God's Answer to our Prayers' is a special place where visitors can enjoy and appreciate the beauty of nature in a setting that is 'spiritual-like'. Dr. Alan Solomon has spent 50 years creating this garden masterpiece which is listed in The Smithsonian Institue's Archives of America Gardens. The garden is located on one of Knoxville's oldest marble quarries and features over 350 varieties of conifers, an extensive collection of wildflowers and ferns, along with many unusual plant specimens. The plantings are complemented by prominently sited stainless steel, bronze and stone sculptures as well as hundred of feet of handcrafted iron rails by master blacksmith John Medwedeff.
• Savage Garden - Historic Savage Garden in Fountian City was inspired by Japanese garden designs popular in the late 20th century. This magnificient garden features exquisite stonework, an extensive plant collection, and a beautifully restored Japanese pagoda. Enjoy a serene walk in a tranquil setting just minutes away from the bustle of Fountain's City busy Broadway.
• Baxter Garden - Set on a hilltop with a gorgeous mountain view in Black Oak Ridge, Baxter Garden is a stunning property made up of 10 garden 'rooms'. Strolling the grounds you will explore the Dogwood Ramble with a variety of dogwoods, the Azalea Garden where more than 500 azaleas burst into bloom in the spring time, The Lotus Garden and Maze and The Ellipse, along with several other named gardens. This is truly a spectacular garden with abundant springtime blooms!
