This was a beautiful place. I just stumbled across it. We are here on vacation and just googled things to do and Im so glad we did. This place was absolutely beautiful. The gardens were stunning. The art collection was extensive. Its more than I imagined. We were literally just walking in not knowing what to expect and wearing shorts and t-shirts and were greeted with smiles. I suggest at least dress casual not touristy.

Quiet peaceful stroll through impressive botanical gardens

I visited today July 11, 2020. The gallery was closed so my son and I walked around the grounds. To be honest I dont know why its rated so high unless theyre talking about the gallery, which I do plan on checking out when it opens. The gardens/grounds were very unimpressive to me. There are actually very few flowers. Actually, I dont even know why they call it gardens. There are lots of trees and a few colored flowers, very few, so really no gardens. I did enjoy listening to the birds. There are not enough sculptures for my taste and I love sculptures. So, all and all Id say so so for now until I check out the museum.

Delightful garden and art museum! Very helpful and friendly staff. Fresh Flowers are many of the rooms, complementing the season and art work. Small cafe and gift shop are a nice touch as well. Amazing porcelain from Europe and the painting gallery is lovely. Perfume exibit on lone was very interesting and large.

No gardens just a lot of trees and very few sculptures but the scenery was nice. I enjoyed looking at the sprinklers and listening to the birds. Unfortunately, the museum was closed due to the virus. So, I didnt get a chance to go in, but I do plan on returning to check that out too. I dont understand why it got rated so high and why its called gardens because I only saw a few colored flowers, just lots of trees. The trees were nice though, I just expected to see flowers and sculptures and that was disappointing.

Such a beautiful place. Wonderful gardens you can escape in and lovely galleries. Can get a very affordable membership or go when it’s free. Definitely worth a visit for those visiting Memphis and a good regular retreat for those from the city.

Beautiful woodland gardens and lawns. Tulip display in Spring is outstanding. Currently exhibiting bonsai trees some as old as 85 years.

I went there for school tripThere garden was lovely and inside the art was amazingWhen I can find pictures from that day I will add to my postHope u joy it as I joy it

This place was listed in National Geographic Guide to Americas Public Gardens. A book Ive had for 20+ years. As we travel, Ill check this book, as well as Eccentric America for places to add to my travel experience. This garden (and associated gallery) did NOT disappoint. And actually the gallery inspired me to take a drawing class and begin sketch journalling, like the displayed Memphis Urban Sketchers journals. The gardens (Spring time!) were wonderful. The cafe food was healthy and tasty. Some AMAZING artwork from lesser known artists to MANY world-renowned artists!!!My lil new friend explored my sunglasses while I rested in the garden.Thank you, Vicki Less and others, for your sketch journal inspiration.

Nice impressionist permanent collection, cool variety of rotating collections, and my favorite, the gorgeous gardens. They are even nice during the winter.

First time visiting here and wasnt disappointed. Came for Art on the Rocks but will be here to see the actual art very soon. Enjoyed every minute.

Nice gallery and gardens with a reasonable price. Good for a stroll and mostly impressionist and post-impressionist artwork with a smattering of sculpture and pewter works.

Since we were there in the late fall we couldnt get the full benefit of the grounds, which although nicely manicured had turned brown due to the weather. The galleries, one of which was the main floor of the former Dixon residence were nice and had excellent exhibits. We got to see the Friedel Dzubas exhibit which is there through January 5th, They offer senior and AAA discounts.

Amazing place with such a beautiful variety of flowers and plants... And they also have a nice gallery. On saturdays from 10 to noon its free!

Every day is a beautiful day at the Dixon! Stroll through the gardens and visit the museum. Be sure to notice the live bouquets arranged with flowers from their very own cutting garden!

AMBIANCE is quite welcoming as you enter the door. I attended the Lynn Nottage Fest which was quite Enlightening and Powerful pertaining to the early eras on which the 3 dramas were based.

Beautiful evening for music, food and fun at the Arts on Fire fundraising event.

Beautiful setting. Gardens are so serene. Staff was very friendly. Cafe was worth a stop too! Scavenger hunt and magnifying glasses kept it interactive enough for my 5 year old, although the museum wont be his favorite spot to go. However he loved the gardens and the cupcake at the cafe!

The Dixon has fabulous exhibits and events throughout the year. Their gardens are stunning and the art exhibits are always unique and interesting. I especially like the Art After Dark and Art on Tap events. There’s always something going on at the Dixon!

The Dixon Gallery and Gardens is a beautiful destination and I am so fortunate to work across the street. We bring residents from Town Village Audubon Park regularly to explore and for the quality programs. I often go with my family as well. If you have never been you must go and see for yourself!

This is a great place for a pleasant garden walk and a beautiful art gallery. There is a permanent exhibit, of course, but I enjoy the temporary exhibits that come through. The variety is good in terms of media and culture.Ive been to several work-related conferences in the meeting room, which is a delightful setting.Saturday mornings before noon admission is free, so we drop by for a leisurely stroll through about once a month.During the summers, Food Truck Fridays are a lot of fun as well.

Beautiful gardens and very helpful staff.

What a Gem! Visited for the 1st time during summer family time. I love how they make it very family friendly, while walking through the gardens, and the kids get a star sticker at each activity! And the event is held 3 or 4 times a year:) Will have to visit the museum next time! And its totally FREE But well worth becoming a member

The gallery and gardens are still beautiful. The largest selection of Impressionist paintings.

Easily my favorite museum and gardens in Memphis. Worth a visit no matter what.

An art paradise! What a cultural treasure in Memphis! The gardens are fun to walk through... the grounds lend themselves to reading, or just plain daydreaming. A romantic date idea!! Free Saturday admission too.

Museum was great, but rainy day made for a quick garden run. Not their fault!

What an awesome place to visit.

Beautiful gardens and a great art collection. I loved the impressionists, Degas, Monet and Surat.

The gardens are very peaceful, and we wandered for a while before going inside. The collections there are small but beautiful, with very many famous painters and interesting art pieces. The temporary exhibit on display during our visit was on perfume, and was a very interesting plunge into this facet of history and art. My visit in the spring caught blooming gardens and trees. I enjoyed the setting as I hadnt on a previous visit in the winter. I was there for the State of the Art exhibit and enjoyed the found art theme. The shop is small and carried a nice array of interesting gifts. So much to see!

Pretty cool place. I recommend going early to the free family fun days with your 3-6 year olds, otherwise parking is tough.

What a lovely location for an art museum surrounded by gardens. The special exhibit on Abstract Expressionism was well curated. The Park + Cherry cafe was a great place to enjoy a bite after viewing art. Delicious sandwiches on home-baked bread.

Great museum. Cool exibits and culture.

Beautiful gallery and grounds.

It is really beautiful and if you love art and need 3$ to spare then this is the place ... but be mindful that you can’t take many pictures inside

We always enjoy the exhibitions here. A quiet, intimate gallery that lets you get pretty close to the art. And the gardens are a work of art themselves.

First time visiting and very happy surprise. Great European paintings and the grounds

The garden was absolutely beautiful and the art was breath taking. I by next month the garden will be completely green and lush.

I was there for the 10th Art on Fire and it was spectacular. The Dixon is pretty awesome even without a special event going on though. Their shows are always well presented and the permanent collection is a well curated selection of art. The gardens are lovely year round, but especially in the spring.

A natural paradise in Memphis! Bring a book, buy a latte at the coffee shop, and enjoy the calm and natural environment of Dixon Gallery & Gardens.

I love this place. The springtime blooms are breathtaking! Quiet and small area which is peaceful to me . A little cafe is there now too. Love the art and flowers and helpful kind staff !

A great place to stretch your legs as well as see some artwork. The usual collection contains works by French Impressionists as well as installations by Jeff Koons, Rodin, and Jun Kaneiko. The grounds are manicured, with bubbling fountains and sculptures throughout. Also a great place for weddings and events, as they do rent the space out. Free on Saturday mornings and pay what you can all Tuesday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Colorful Tulips, go with light snack and beverages, they have places to sit and enjoy mother nature. There is Entry fee -$7

We visited the Dixon to see the special Paxton exhibit. However, while traveling with a toddler our time (at least my time as the mom) was very limited. One of the security guards suggested we (my 20 month son and I) check out the new childrens interactive area that had just opened about two weeks ago. My son loved coloring and playing with the little toys in the childrens room. We had the opportunity to speak with one of the art teachers (believe his name was JT) and he was so kind, friendly and informative. If we lived in Memphis we would certainly plan to take advantage of all the art classes for kids! I loved hearing the history and vision of the childrens room and hope the children around Memphis enjoy it for years to come!

What a lovely place!!!! I am so happy we live less than 3 miles away. Definitely going there many times.

It helps rekindle my serenity with beautiful gardens and the nicest people. Friday meditation is the best.

Nice small art museum. Gardens were nice to walk through.

Great exhibits as well as great staff. They really do a great job. The cafe was amazing as well.

Beautiful gallery. Attended A Victorian Holiday by Opera Memphis. Dixon Gallery was the perfect backdrop for a great event.

Great way to spend an hour or so!There seemed to be 3 major art exhibits available in early June. Portraits, pewter objects, and Impressionist art.I wasnt a big fan of portraits or pewter, but the rest of the paintings were lovely.The odd part was that the oil paintings were in areas with plenty of reflective light.Outside, there was an athletic event going on that we didnt find but could hear through the trees.Gorgeous gardens with trellis, plenty of chairs with matching tables and good walking others. A greenhouse was near the unique fountain.I didnt visit the gift shop or coffee shop.BoA, MOU participant

What a great way to spend our Friday afternoon. Me and my love went for lunch and decided to take in the Garden today. What a great idea that turn out to be. We meet some of the smart school age child on a field trip. We watching an artist paint a piece of art live. We bird watched say and read the paper and listen to the fountain stream water. If you have never experienced this Free part of Dixon Gallery and Garden , then you are missing an absolute master piece. Trust me on this one the kids will be thanking you for years and its so romantic. Next, week we explore the Dixon original family seating area.

Small but nice collections, and a garden that should have its peak in the summer.Also, you can picnic there, once you are on the property.

The Dixon Gallery & Gardens is a must visit if you live in the city, are just passing through, or simply love art. I wish all art museums had a garden element to them. Bravo to the amazing curators and horticulturists for creating such a beautiful experience. What is life without art? Dull...so go get inspired at the Dixon.

Love coming here. Its very peaceful to just visit and enjoy all the nature. You can also attend a ton of programs like Wednesday munch and learn, Friday meditation, Friday food trucks, Saturday sketches. Tons and tons of events and theres free membership for Memphis teachers.

A beautiful place to go see art and floral.I really enjoyed myself.

Art to Grow was at Lakeland Elementary last week. As an art teacher, I can honestly say their program was excellent. Both Danielle and Christen were excellent in their presentation; their timing throughout the process was impeccable. I was intrigued at how involved students were in the project and learned a lot myself from these two fine young ladies. Thank you Art to Grow.

Disappointing art collection. Gardens seemed ok. $7 is reasonable. In and out in 30 minutes.

Beautiful Unique art + gardens. Spring Summer Winter Fall.. anytime is awesome

I took a group of 44 middle schoolers for a docent-led tour and sketching. The staff was phenomenal, and we had a great experience.

Me and my wife had a memorable time here. Love it

Lovely gardens and gallery with interesting classes and nice cafe.

Stunning gardens. Beautiful grounds and exhibits.

My wife and I like to go here for dates. The exhibits are lovely, as are the gardens, especially when they are having their Tulip Festival.

Beautiful and well kept gardens. A large part of the museum is closed at the moment but often the exhibits change so thats probably why.

Wonderful experience....enjoyed every minute. Beautiful home,paintings, lovely cafe. Will definitely return.

Excellent exhibits in gallery, beautiful gardens and grounds. Well worth visiting.

Love it here great getaway from the everyday i had a very calming experience at this art gallery very welcoming from the staff to the atmosphere

Lovely garden, truly lovely garden

It is very fun and the employees are very nice. And they also are very funny and have fun with their customers ant the same time. I really would prefer families to come explore. What is in this Gallery.

Tulips, Tulips, Tulips! March tulips at the Dixon is a must see.

Nice gardens and museum/art if youre into that.Had free admission on Saturday mornings I believe. Check online...

Loved the plant sale.

Very nice.

Family Day!! Great for young ones. Art and crafts.

Some of the best botanic gardens in the city. This in addition to a great museum.

The place offers activities that are enjoyable, also has great art.

Friendly, helpful, workers. Exquisite gardens!! Museum was a taste of elegance and history!

Get out and smell the flowers!!!! Oh lunch in the cafe was great too!

️WE ALWAYS ENJOY VISITING!️

Lots of cool art and a neat garden to walk through.

Amazing exhibits, beautiful grounds, gardens! Lovely venue 4 weddings or celebrations of any kind.GO!

A little known treasure of impressionist paintings. A delight!

Very fun and whimsical garden! Always a delightful experience in both the gardens and the gallery!

We walked through the gardens which are terrific. Outdoor sculptures are worth the walk. Did not go in the museum but have and it is really nice and has special exhibits regularly.

Great gallery and gardens small side but interesting exhibits and monthly family activities.

Beautiful. Went to this and the Botanic Garden next door in the same day and would highly suggest the Dixon gallery and garden if you had to pick one. They had a free tour of the gallery given by a very knowledgeable docent. The center pieces were wonderfully made using fresh flowers from the garden. Definitely worth the admission price (not that its expensive).

Nice exhibition. Was really mesmerized by a couple of the pieces, especially the Hugh Breckenridge piece. And we had lunch in the cafe after. Everyone was super nice.

The gardens are beautiful in spring.

Absolutely gorgeous in the summer! My cousin had her wedding and reception here and it was the best wedding Ive been to. The gardens are amazing and the green house just for aromatic plants was my favorite thing Ive ever seen as a horticulturist. The few staff I talked to were nice and accommodating. They have a small cafe if you are stranded and need nourishment.

Dixon Gallery and Gardens is a beautiful venue. I attended my Aunts wedding, and the venue, wedding, and atmosphere were perfect!!!

Tulips are in full bloom. The wife and I took our daughter to have her picture made. Gorgeous!

Wonderful time at Arts On Fire. Good food and fine art. Fire dancing and more.

Wonderful museum. We were there for the Contemplating Character exhibit and it was fascinating. We were also lucky enough to be there for their food truck Friday and ate in the gardens. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Garden my coworker had his wedding here very nice

We never fail to enjoy our visits to Dixon Gallery & Gardens! The exhibits are always wonderful and a walk through the gardens and the grounds is always a balm to the soul. We are always amazed that such a perfect gem is tucked away in the middle of our city!

This museum was okay. Security stands so close you feel rushed. But the walk through the garden was especially nice!

Lovely gardens, beautiful paintings. Also, love the kids showing area.
