Our event spaces
Gardens
Modern architectural elegance immersed in scenic garden views.
Across the grounds of the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum, guests encounter a seamless blend of historic stonework, vibrant native plantings, and architectural elegance. From the shade-loving foliage of the historic Martha H. Ashe Garden and the ivy-wrapped walls of the Stone Greenhouse to the sprawling lawn of the Rita Lemon Johnson Garden, these spaces pair serene walking paths with four-season greenery. Indoors, the award-winning Dogwood Center features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking lush plant collections, while the nearby Stone Terraces offer intimate flagstone paths beneath a stately Southern Magnolia.
Guests often feel this space is
“Enchanting, serene and timeless.”
