  Join the UT Gardens and Trees Knoxville teams for a fall tree walk in the UT Gardens, Knoxville. We’ll talk about how to identify trees as they lose their leaves, point out seasonally interesting plants, and call out some of the spring flowering trees we saw earlier in the year. Come prepared to ask questions, walk through the Gardens, and get inspired to plant trees in your home landscape!

  Fall is all about change: weather, color, the days growing shorter. Knoxville's poet laureate, Linda Parsons, leads a poetry workshop where you'll read sample poems about the many changes inherent in fall, both bitter and sweet, and will write your own poems of change and growth.

  We’re excited to offer our most popular class of the year! During our wreath-making workshop, you’ll use real plant materials to make beautiful wreaths (or swags) to decorate your home. We will even show you how to safely take cuttings from your own evergreen trees to enhance your home décor and to personalize your wreath. Participants are welcome to bring their own ornaments, ribbon, and other decorative items, though our team will have ribbon available along with pruners, floral wire, and other necessary items to make a wreath for all participants. Registration is required and – pro-tip – register early! This class fills up every year, so book your spot now!
