The University of Tennessee Arboretum covers 250 acres in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It is a research and educational arboretum operated by the University of Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station. It is open to the public without charge.
The arboretum contains approximately 2,500 native and exotic woody plant specimens, representing 800 species, varieties, and cultivars, with good collections of azaleas, conifers, crab apples, dogwoods, hollies, junipers, magnolias, oaks, rhododendrons, and viburnums. It also includes geographic groupings of plants from both relatively nearby habitats (Cumberland River gorge, Southern United States coastal plains) and elsewhere in the world (California, central China, and Poland), as well as four nature trails with interpretive signs.

This postcard came from Scott (Postcrossing, 19 June 2018) who also wrote me a very interesting letter. The postcard shows the Arboretum in winter.
Scott has also stamped on the back of the postcard an ink stamp of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park.
Postcards I have received from 2013 to 2018 primarily through Postcrossing and Swap-bot although there are some postcards here that are from other sources.
