An annual fundraising event presented by the Friends of the University of Tennessee Gardens in cooperation with the Institute of Agriculture and the Knoxville News Sentinel, this two-day event showcases the beauty of the UT Gardens at their peak of color.  Blooms Days offers a variety of activities to entertain and delight the entire family.  A select marketplace features unique garden-related arts and crafts, gardening goods, and specialty plants for the homeowner and garden enthusiast.  An Insect Zoo and “make and take” projects entertain children while horticultural experts present workshops and answer questions.  Live music is provided by some of Knoxville’s finest local talent and food is available throughout the event.
