The Memphis Botanic Garden is a 96-acre (39 ha) botanical garden located in Audubon Park at 750 Cherry Road, Memphis, Tennessee.[1]
Memphis Botanic Garden is open to the public daily, where guests can take a stroll through various gardens on the grounds. There is also a garden for kids, called my Big Backyard,[2] which is very popular with Memphians and out of towners.
Memphis Botanic Garden hosts many community events each year, such as the Daffodil Dash Race, The Family Egg Hunt, and Mother's Day Jazz Brunch.
