We are often driven towards colorful or well-structured blooms, various heights and smells, among other things. Many gardeners are also prioritizing the importance of pollinators in the garden. During this lecture, we'll hear from Dr. Claire Hemingway, who studies our native pollinators. She'll share information about their natural history and impressive cognitive abilities. This lecture will be a great opportunity to learn about gardens from the pollinator's perspective!</p> <p>Date: 9/06/2026&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Time: 1:00 - 3:00pm</p> <p>Location: UT Gardens, Knoxville (South Greenhouse Room 124)</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> https://utgardens.wildapricot.org/event-6765902 https://utgardens.wildapricot.org/event-6765902 Thu, 22 Oct 2026 21:30:00 GMT <p>As gardeners, we prioritize the plants in our collections.

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.&nbsp;<br></p> <p>Date: 11/14/2026&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Time: 10:00 am - noon</p> <p>Location: UT Gardens, Knoxville (South Greenhouse 124)</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> https://utgardens.wildapricot.org/event-6765934 https://utgardens.wildapricot.org/event-6765934 Sat, 12 Dec 2026 15:00:00 GMT <p>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!&nbsp;<br></p> <p>Date: 12/12/2026&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Time: 10:00 am - noon</p> <p>Location: UT Gardens, Knoxville (South Greenhouse 124)</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> https://utgardens.wildapricot.org/event-6765938 https://utgardens.wildapricot.org/event-6765938
