Memphis Botanic Gardens also had an awesome Alice’s Adventures at the Garden when Alice in Wonderland was on display.
Once I got home I had to do more investigating. Y’all, these trolls are all over the world! There are more than 100 different trolls. Each has their own story. Check out the TrollMap!
The Japanese Gardens at Memphis Botanic Gardens
The “Trolliefolky Fest” is on display at the Memphis Gardens until May 21, 2025! Go, experience it while you can!
There are six giant trolls visiting the gardens. Rumor has it the trolls were sick of how humans were treating our Earth, so they thought the solution was to eat the humans. But one of the more compassionate trolls had another idea! Maybe we can teach the humans how to better care for the earth.
The Memphis trolls are hanging out in various parts of the beautiful gardens.
Check out these other beautiful parts of Memphis:
The Trolls
Ronja Redeye
Ronja Redeye
Ronja is the smallest of the Memphis trolls. She is their mighty leader. She translated the troll alphabet into the Human ABCs. Ronja is sitting right out the back door of the visitors center.
Rosa Sunfinger
I relate with this troll. She is quiet and introverted, but she will speak up when/if needed. She is most comfortable sharing her feelings through plants. She uses plants to make even useless things come to life…. as in the wrecked car that is now a beautiful planter. Watching things grow also makes me smile, Rosa, I see you girl!
Kamma Can
Kamma Can
Kamma is also very relatable. At this exhibit, the guide was talking to our kids about recycling and not using single-use plastics (such as bottled water) so we can reduce the need to even recycle. She calls plastics eternity materials, so the less we use the better. And when we do use them, we need to reuse or recycle!
Sofus Lotus
LISTEN!
This was a fun troll to look at. This troll was one of the first to notice something was wrong with nature. Since he listens…
Ibbi Pip
Ibbi Pip
Ibbi wants humans to pay more attention to animals. She tries to communicate their importance by putting colorful bird-houses up.
Basse Baller
Basse Buller
This troll is absolutely a favorite for kids. It even has swings next to it. He fits his label of “rebel” as he takes a “no” as a “maybe”.
The Memphis Botanic Garden’s Trolls are only on display until May 21, so you need to hurry and visit them before they venture to their next home.
The museum’s website shows some of the fun Troll-related events they have planned. (Scroll to the bottom of the page.)
