Baxter Gardens 

We are excited to announce the opening of Baxter Gardens as a private event venue!

Nestled on 55 breathtaking acres at one of the highest residential points in Knoxville, Baxter Gardens offers an unforgettable setting for weddings and private celebrations.

Beginning in 1978, Bill Baxter lovingly transformed this property into a spectacular collection of gardens, hardscapes, and scenic overlooks. His passion and dedication continued until his passing in 2024, leaving behind a truly remarkable legacy.

From the gardens, guests can enjoy sweeping views of downtown Knoxville and, on clear evenings, the majestic Great Smoky Mountains. For many years, the gardens welcomed visitors during the Dogwood Arts Festival before closing to the public over the past two years.

Today, we are honored to begin a new chapter by opening our cherished family home and gardens once again this time as an exclusive venue for weddings and private events. We look forward to sharing the beauty, history, and tranquility of Baxter Gardens as the backdrop for your most memorable occasions.

Thank you!
