Join Board Member & former KBGA staff, Dan Steinhoff, on a guided tour of KBGA’s unique & historic tree collection as the seasons change from spring to summer.

Bring the kids and come for a family-friendly adventure through the trees at the Garden. Led by arborist Rachel Broskey of Davey Tree Company, there will be something new to learn and enjoy for every age.

Native plants support an abundance of beautiful birds and butterflies, as well as providing vital ecosystem services. Come explore the many gardens and trails and examine species of plants that are endemic to the Knoxville area. 

On the longest day of the year, Garden supporters gather for cocktails al fresco, live music, and a solstice meal to raise funds for the Garden.

A perfect opportunity for those interested in trees but less keen on a walk can enjoy the Garden’s collection from the comfort of a lawn chair.

Come learn about what makes a landscape prime for pollinators while you take a stroll through the Garden. Connecting visitors, gardeners, and the natural landscape, this walk has a unique focus with each new season and an opportunity to look at the Garden in a whole new way.

While annuals need to be re-planted year after year, perennials come back.  Even so, perennials shouldn't just be planted and forgotten — they need care and attention too!  Join us to learn all about perennial care, including planting, pruning, dividing, and mulching.

An evening with the Knoxville Symphony at the Garden.

The Garden’s largest annual fundraiser, Green Thumb Gala, celebrates the Garden’s accomplishments and brings together supporters for an evening of music, food, silent and live auctions.
