Produce & Plants

Tennessee's temperate climate and rich soil create a perfect environment for plants and produce. Our growing zones are just right for a wide variety of native flowers and edibles, yielding quite the grower and locavore selection. Our state flower, the iris, enjoys a dramatic debut, appearing in April, May and June, and our wildflower, the rue anemone, blooms in the first wave of spring blossoms.

Well-known for its gardens--such as Cheekwood Botanical Gardens , University of Tennessee Gardens , and the beautiful Dixon Gardens --Tennessee's gardens, greenhouses and florists flourish with plants.

Fun with food and plants is available on Tennessee farms and in farmers markets. Bite into a Cherokee Purple, Lillian's Yellow Heirloom or Jublilee--our heirloom tomatoes are palate pleasers. Christmas trees to watermelons, find the best-grown plants and produce in Tennessee!
