    ABOUT BAXTER GARDENS
    Baxter Gardens is a private residence which opens its gardens to the public during the month of April as part of the Dogwood Arts Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee, and is comprised of fifteen gardens which can be toured during the festival with the assistance of a printed map and guide or QR code provided onsite.
    The gardens were constructed, beginning in 1992, on the south facing crest of Black Oak Ridge in Fountain City, in North Knoxville. The first garden designed and constructed was The White Garden, modeled after a similar garden at Sissinghurst Castle in England. The English Garden influence is strong throughout the gardens. Another major influence on the design of the gardens has been Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed and built Biltmore Gardens in Asheville, N.C., as well as Central Park in New York City and The Public Gardens in Boston. Olmsted emphasized designing in harmony with the topography of the site, complimenting and respecting what nature has given you.
    Baxter Gardens has received thousands of visitors over the years and has been recognized in several garden publications, most notably Southern Living and Garden Design.
    The popularity of the gardens has brought new challenges, most notably protecting the gardens from damage from the heavy - and sometimes wayward- foot traffic. Crowds reached 25,000 in April 2021, leaving their impact. Many of our visitors are garden lovers and come to enjoy the plants, the designs, and perhaps get ideas for their own gardens. We love this, and this was exactly why we opened our gardens for the Dogwood Festival initially. We hope you will all continue visiting and enjoying our common love.

    I was afraid you were going to say "Mamma Mia" was your most watched Pierce Brosnan flick. SO happy it was "Dante's Peak", haha. Still remember it going head-to-head with Tommy Lee Jones' "Volcano"

    I have watched several of your videos. First off, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy them. Secondly, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you putting in commentary about handicap accessibility (or lack of it). We have a family member in a wheelchair, and knowing about handicap accessibility by watching your videos before we go has been super helpful. One suggestion: could you make a video about Anakeesta? I really want to take the family, but my understanding from their website is handicap accessibility is not good. Would love to see a video about Anakeesta in general and the pros and cons for folks in a wheelchair. Thanks for all you do.

      Happy to help! We took Brie’s dad who was in a wheelchair to Anakeesta & he had a great time. His chair was the correct size that could fit in a gondola. Here is our tour video:

    Dante's peak was great but they missed an opportunity. When they were in the boat while they were rowing they sang a song. The wrong song. They should have sang Michael row the boat ashore. Then that lady may not have had to jump out to get them to land.
