Arboretum and Gardens

As a classic example of a garden style cemetery, much of Elmwood's restful atmosphere comes from its beautiful grounds, majestic trees, and charming gardens. It is a Tennessee Department of Forestry Level 3 Arboretum and contains three formal gardens: the McCallum Garden, the Miller Garden, and the Butterfly Garden. Picnic tables, restrooms, and a drinking fountain are available behind the Cottage.
