The Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum (KBGA) was founded in order to preserve and protect this historic and overgrown property. Amanda Spangler explains how they're now adding a Green Drinks Garden that will be on the agriculture of spirits. It will showcase plants that have been grown around the world to brew, distill, and infuse visitors’ favorite and less-familiar beverages. Attractive interpretive plant labels will provide information about the culture and history of each specimen.  

She also goes over the gardens, how they are free daily, and what you can see! They host many events and even story times for kids.

One of the upcoming events we talk about is the inaugural Brewbilee! This festival will showcase Knoxville’s own breweries and distilleries.   Enjoy refreshing beverages, live music, and delicious food from SoKno Taco Cantina, West Hills Flats and Taps, and Cool Beans Bar and Grill while you explore and experience the gardens. All proceeds benefit the KBGA.
