I just loved being in the Dixon Gardens in the spring! It is a beautiful place! The art gallery is also impressive. Enjoyed the special exhibits. I missed their symphony concert - due to rain, but hope to visit the next time I'm in Memphis!

Dixon Gallery hides in an intimate setting providing a relaxing visual vacation combining the natural arts of the gardens with artful masterpieces of man.
The permanent collection was out traveling which was disappointing and the gardens weren't blooming so the experience wasn't the best. Still there were a few lovely pieces in the jewelry exhibit that was there.

Wo, were we surprised by this small gallery and its setting. Although it was raining buckets of water, the grounds were still beautiful and led us to want to come back in the spring to walk teh gardens.
I have volunteered in the gardens for years and have participated in the annual wildflower sales in April. The art gallery is top notch. The symphony in the gardens is also a favorite. We take our chairs and picnic to sit on the lawn to hear the Memphis Symphony surrounded by the gardens.
