Our Story

Imaginary Gardens is the College’s news and arts journal. As a student-led publication managed by the English Department, it provides an outlet for student journalism and creative works focused on students at the college. As part of an open-access community college, its core values include providing meaningful hands-on job-based learning for students and creating informational access for student readers. The journal is published year-round online and in a single print compendium edition in the spring semester.

Founded in the mid-1990s, the journal has undergone a shift from a once-a-year print journal that features only artistic works created by current Pellissippi State students to a thriving online news and arts journal with a focus on telling the stories of Pellissippi State students and friends of the college.
