WEATHER
Knoxville is famous for wonderful weather!  Mild temps and decent precipitation levels create a comfortable living environment. 

If you're a gardener,  you will be in heaven.  We can grow flowers of some sort year round and a wide variety of perennials do very well.  We put out the vegetable gardens beginning in March and harvest some things by April or May.  There are many community garden clubs in which to participate and make friends.
