Grow the Garden with us
We invite you to join us for our annual ticketed events, which help keep the gardens free and open to the public.
Green Thumb Gala
The Green Thumb Gala is our annual fall fundraiser. It’s a wonderful way to support the Gardens, as well as having a lovely, fun, and refreshing evening out at the Garden.
Whether as an individual, a table host, or a sponsor, there are so many ways to be part of the event and all of the growth happening here at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and Arboretum.
The Green Thumb Gala is held every year toward the beginning of October.
Hats In Bloom
In the heigh of spring, come visit with friends, family and colleagues while sipping champagne and enjoying a seated lunch at the beautiful Knoxville Botanical Garden. Hats in Bloom features milliner Patricia Frankum’s designer hats and lunch by Holly Hambright of Holly’s Eventful Dining. A hat is not required, but it’s a great opportunity to wear one!
