Description
Built in 1998, the Memphis Garden Club Cutting Garden is a working flower farm with something in bloom nearly twelve months of the year. The floral arrangements you will see inside the museum are usually created from flowers grown in the Cutting Garden and greenhouse-grown flowers. There are as many as thirty different types of plants and flowers growing at one time in this area, including displays of roses, annuals, and perennials. The conservatory houses the Dixon’s collection of tropical plants and the fountain, designed by Alabama sculptor Frank Fleming is an expression of the four seasons. The small slab of slate leading up to a frog sculpture was added to allow newborn frogs to climb from the fountain
