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.

Thats Bill and Ginger Baxter's home and nice to see they still have the grounds open in April. Bill was raised near that estate and always said he would build a house and garden there. They love Dogwoods and have many species. Everything is native there. Thanks for the opportunity to see it again Ryan and Brie.
Our pleasure Rob!
Beautiful garden! So thankful for your witness in sharing a Biblical response to the Buddha quote. We are called to speak His truth anywhere, anytime. Love your channel and your family’s beautiful Christian spirit! God bless you all!
what a beautiful garden. Thank you for blessing us with this. God bless.
That looks so peaceful and relaxing. Very nice.
Great Video Ryan and Brie. Those gardens sure were beautiful! All the flowers are so colorful. I love all of B the Fad jokes and puns Ryan. It is very nice that they open thstvup to the public for free. What a nice gift to the community. I have never been there or heard about it before. Thank you for sharing it with us.
What a Beautiful garden. Someone did an Amazing job laying it all out so beautifully. Thanks For Sharing

Dante's Peak! Great movie! It's what I had hoped Twister would have been.
Well, being as it so happens I'm disabled, I thank you guys for bringing us this very inclusive and wonderful video! I truly appreciate you guys for this! 💙🙏🏻
Happy to bring you virtually along with us Jangles!
If you could re-upload or bump this video the beginning of next April it would be a great reminder. I'll never remember it. 🌸
Cool place. Your hair looks great Brie!❤
Beautiful. Thank you for the tour. This was a hidden garden to me. I didn't know it was there. I appreciate you showing us places in the area and I agree with you with proverbs 3:5-6.
Sooooo Beautiful. I love gardens.
👍
Very cool place, Lots Buddha stuff. There for a minute I thought you were at the Peace Pagoda over south of Newport.
Great tour. Thanks Ryan and Brie. Beautiful gardens.
Our pleasure!
That doggone Turkish Delight proved to be too tempting once again. 😅
Wow it’s so very nice place 🫶🏻❤️
Ha ha love the Dad jokes so much!
What a beautiful place!!
Lovely video 😊. You both deserve a date day/ night. That garden has grown a lot in the last 3 years. Beautiful video ❤😊
It is Dante's Peak with Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton. I like that movie also. I really love disaster movies like The Core and The Day After Tomorrow.
Ryan, you forgot to mention Remington Steel that Pierce Brosdan star in.
must have missed that one!
That's what I remembered him from.
Nice day out! Nice vid! Thanks y’all 😊🙌🙌🎉☀️🦋🌷
Our pleasure!
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"
Thanks for showing us these beautiful gardens!
Can’t say I’ve ever seen Mamma Mia, also can’t say I ever planned to watch it! 😆
@@AdventureIsOutThere Correct answer, hahah!
Thanks Ryan and Brie, had no idea the place existed. Definitely want to visit soon.
Our pleasure Greg!
First comment again! Live your vids you are the best RUclipsr! ❤😊
Thanks 🍌👑
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your videos love them.
Our pleasure!
Just remember If you park in The State park you have parking pass or handlecap tag to psrk
I've lived near these gardens for years and never knew about them until last year. It's so beautiful!!
Dantes Peak is a great movie! I think Linda Hamilton was the mayor of the town.
My husband laughed at me because I’m yelling Dante’s Peak!!!! ✌🏼💕
Glad to provide a laugh! 😁
We love anyplace we can walk in the flowers,are there any more places in the Townsend or pigeon forge area?Thanks for the informative -and funny-videos!
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:

@@AdventureIsOutThere Oops! Did not realize you had already done one.😊. A little embarrassed, but appreciative
@@TheParot161 over time videos get buried, no problem at all, happy to help!
I know it would be a bit of a drive for you all but you all would live Nashville, Indiana. My mom and I stayed at the state park lodge but the have fun lodging in town as well. Would love to see you all do a video there.
Thanks for the suggestion. Will keep that in mind if we ever make it to that side of Tennessee.
Dante's peak!!
🏔️👍
Beautiful place. You mentioned that you go walking when you can. Do you guys ever go hiking in The Smokies?
I would love to see the videos if you do!!!
We have and plan to do many more! ruclips.net/p/PLRq0zJxf6i1GmAWUeg8ezvBY6kWcObxEt
I would love to see them. I'll watch the past as well.
@@frankclements7469 enjoy! ruclips.net/p/PLRq0zJxf6i1GmAWUeg8ezvBY6kWcObxEt
You guys live at the smokies?!
We do live in Sevier County!
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.
