Knoxville’s Dogwood Arts Festival brings entertainment, food, activities and parties during the more than two-week span of time of celebration. But the Open Gardens event offers visitors a bit of serenity as they quietly roam some of the area’s most stunning gardens.

Sometimes you just take a look at dogwoods, tulips, and flowering shrubs. Sometimes you take pictures. And sometimes you just sit and reflect.

During this cold winter weather, we’re longing for a bit of serenity. We’d love to sit in someone else’s garden and ponder what it would be like to look out at the view of the moment in a serene setting.

Oh, the Places We See
Unless you’re the gardener who never sits and enjoys — just always working. There are some of those, you know!

I wish I knew more about gardening. Mostly I just know how to appreciate the creativity and the work!!! Oh, well. Somebody’s got to be the admirer, right?
