Bonny Oaks Arboretum, Botanical garden in Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States.
Bonny Oaks Arboretum is a circular botanical garden with more than 50 tree and shrub species, each marked with common and scientific names. The space includes seating areas and a fountain throughout the planted collection.
The garden took its current form in the mid-1800s and surrounds the Dent House, which now operates as a county agriculture center. The original landscape design from that period remains visible today.
The arboretum serves visitors as a place to learn about different tree species and their role in the local environment. The labeled specimens help people understand the regional flora and connect with nature.
The garden welcomes visitors every day without any admission fee, so you can visit whenever it suits you. The circular layout with shaded seating areas makes it easy to spend time walking at your own pace.
A willow oak has been growing here for about 100 years, making it the oldest specimen in the entire collection. This ancient tree shows how long the garden has served the community.
