The four seasons of the year make living in Tennessee a dynamic and exciting experience. From the warm summer days and lush greenery to the bursts of color in the fall, the mild winters that give light coats of snow to the exciting new growth in the spring, we just love the variety of all four seasons of the year in Tennessee. With the changing seasons, you have many opportunities to see new things grow, and you can discover the wonder of that new life in this incredible garden in Athens, Tennessee.

The Garden in Sunshine Hollow is a beautiful 20-acre landscape filled with over 1,750 varieties of daylilies, roses, dahlias, hostas, irises, and cannas flowers. With over 4,000 feet of flower beds, you are sure to find beauty all around you.
