From Dogwood Arts A lot of things are different this year, but one thing that remains the same is how beautiful it is dur- ing springtime in East Tennessee. Whether it’s along a Dogwood Trail or in your own backyard, spring is blooming all around us!

Dogwood Arts is celebrating 65 years of blooming Dogwood Trails this year. What started as a neigh- borhood beautification project back in 1955 has blossomed into a year-round celebration of our region’s art, culture, and natural beauty. We’re so excited to cele- brate another season with you–– even if it may look a little differ- ent in 2020! We are committed to finding ways to engage not only our local community but also those from around the region in new, vir- tual ways.

For those who choose to get out and enjoy the Dog- wood Trails this season, we ask that you do so while fol- lowing the current guide- lines for social distancing as mandated by our local and state governments and the Knox County Health Depart- ment. Keep in mind that sev- eral of the Open Gardens listed in the Trail Guides may no longer be open and there are no public facilities open for use along any of these trails.
