Spring In Gatlinburg TN

Spring is one of the best times to visit Gatlinburg TN and the Great Smoky Mountains. You can imagine the new bright-green growth in the forests, many varieties of wildflowers, the high-flow streams waterfalls from melted snow, and wildlife awakened—bears come from hibernation and fawns are born. Ah yes, there are few better places to remedy a case of spring fever than in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Gatlinburg puts on a fresh face and locals strive to provide the year’s new visitors with a festive and fresh—manifested by thousands of new flowers along its streets and sidewalks.

Hanging flower baskets and freshly filled window boxes overflowing with healthy new plants and flowers always please the Smoky Mountain area’s visitors. Gatlinburg’s horticulturist says “we have many visitors asking us about our flowers so they too can plant the same when they get back home.” A favorite flower is the Mandevilla--a pink trumpet-shaped flower, which is grown year-round in the Gatlinburg TN greenhouse. Some are as old as nine or ten year.

Gatlinburg has been put in a prestigious and unique category as a Tree City, U.S.A.-- for the past sixteen years—an achievement that fewer than ten percent of cities in America accomplish. Gatlinburg’s Parks & Recreation Department started a Memorial Tree program in 2004 that included the planting of a tree, establishment of a bronze plaque, and the guarantee of lifetime maintenance and replacement. Both visitors and residents find this program to be appealing as a lasting memorial for the community.

When the winter doldrums really get to you and you feel the need to make a change, the beauty of spring in Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains will make all the difference.
