The Children’s Table at UT Gardens

Bruce Bennett’s contributions to the UT Gardens are numerous, but his Children’s Table is among the most visited works in the botanical gardens. Installed in 2006, the table provides a place for youngsters to explore and create within the sprawling 42-acre nature preserve along Neyland Drive and the Tennessee River.

Created from stacked Tennessee limestone, the table features raised-relief depictions of the seven sacred trees of the Cherokee.
