Volunteer
Volunteers are at the heart of our success. 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 a small staff and relies heavily on volunteers to support the work of maintaining this beautiful place. Whether you have only a few hours a month or many hours a week, we would love to have you!

Regular volunteers help in the garden, support our preschool Story Thyme program, care for the grounds, and much more. We will also be adding a docent volunteer role soon, for those interested in leading garden tours.
Sign up to support one or more of the gardens annual events, including Green Thumb Gala, Plant Sale, Fall Festival, Sunrise Service.
School clubs, corporate volunteer programs, and other groups are welcome to plan a work day at the Garden.
