Oaklawn Garden

Germantown, Tennessee, United States

---

Oaklawn Garden in Germantown, Tennessee, is a botanical garden, park, and local history museum situated on a 20-acre property that includes a historic home built in 1854.

The garden is renowned for its extensive cultivation of over 300 varieties of daffodils, a tradition started in 1924 by Mamie Cloyes. The grounds also feature azaleas, native trees, and shrubs, along with a diverse outdoor museum collection exhibiting historical items from Germantown’s past, such as a 1942 fire truck, the town’s first jail cell, old railway cars, and farm equipment.

The indoor museum, housed in a former florist shop built in 1957, displays local cultural and historical artifacts. Oaklawn Garden is privately owned but open to the public free of charge, serving as a cherished community spot particularly popular during azalea bloom season and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
