Volunteer

We are on the verge of some exciting changes at the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum (KBGA). Wouldn’t you like to be a part of this momentum? Volunteers are at the heart of non-profit work. Our strength results from the time and effort provided by volunteers like you willing to donate their time and energy to our mission to preserve a historic landscape and create a world-class botanical garden in the heart of Knoxville. As a non-profit organization, KBGA has many different opportunities available for almost anyone who would like to be involved. Whether you can volunteer only a few hours a week or month, we would love to have you! Don’t have a green thumb? Don’t worry! Our Gardens have a variety of needs, and volunteering is a great opportunity to learn. We love working with people who are new to gardening, as well as seasoned veterans!

Duties can include weeding, dead-heading perennials, light brush clearing, leaf blowing, sweeping, picking up trash, etc. Most work would be done outdoors, so wear clothes you can get dirty and bring a water bottle.
