Additional Information

Located atop Lookout Mountain, where Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama meet, Rock City Gardens was opened in 1932 by Garnet and Frieda Carter. Designed to enchant visitors of all ages, the gardens blend natural rock formations with European folklore. Frieda Carter, inspired by German legends, imported gnome statues and tucked them throughout the gardens, creating scenes like this one that continue to delight guests to this day.
