Did the Elves in Middle Earth know of Ents? They were supposed to be very friendly with nature and especially the forests, so they should have been aware.
Answer
In the Return of the King chapter "Many Partings", Fangorn has a brief conversation with Celeborn and Galadriel which makes it clear that they have personally met in the past (though not recently):
Then Treebeard said farewell to each of them in turn, and he bowed three times slowly and with great reverence to Celeborn and Galadriel. "It is long, long since we met by stock or by stone, A vanimar vanimálion nostari!" he said. "It is sad that we should meet only thus at the ending. For the world is changing: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, and I smell it in the air. I do not think we shall meet again.
And Celeborn said: "I do not know, Eldest." But Galadriel said: "Not in Middle-earth, nor until the lands that lie under the wave are lifted up again. Then in the willow-meads of Tasarinan we may meet in the Spring. Farewell!"
