Memphis City Beautiful recognizes the power of beauty and celebrates the thoughtfully landscaped spaces that make our city shine!

We are excited to spotlight the University of Memphis and all that it offers to students, residents, and neighbors. Campus staff have been working to refresh the landscape, focusing on sustainable features designed to thrive for years to come. Maintaining the tree canopy, installing perennial plantings, and incorporating resilient native species are all part of creating a beautiful, park-like atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

We invite you to celebrate the University with us and enjoy a walk through campus one day soon!

Thanks to the Litter Mates for organizing another impactful cleanup effort! We're glad to partner with you for a clean, green Memphis. 💚
