Wow, what a beautiful place to take a walk on the weekend!
I don't know how much of it we saw, we walked in 1.5 miles and got to see lots of well maintained grass and tree groves, a main pathway with markers describing the species and sometimes when they were planted.
We parked outside the gate as the signs instructed.
The place is surrounded by East Tennessee agrarian beauty with farmland, horses, lush green hills on the skylines, and we saw deer. I suspect there is a bunch of wildlife out here if one takes the time to observe.
It's peaceful, dare I say, "serene."
No bathroom facilities, no trash bins, and a few others out walking their dogs.
I'd like to come back and find out more about the place, the mission, the botany, etc.
It looks like some folks work really hard here to make it such a nice place.
There is an agricultural type of canal-ditch and aluminum sprinklers with big risers and wheels. It's interesting. read more
