You're cordially invited to our biannual State of the Garden Gathering on July 29, 4:00–5:30pm! This session is a dedicated opportunity for Volunteers to connect with the KBGA team and help shape the future of the Volunteer Program, and we genuinely need your input. Please, RSVP here.

Help Us Beautify the Streets Around Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum!

Join other volunteers for a morning of community service, fresh air, and good company - then stick around to soak in the late-summer blooms!

Grab a friend, bring the kids, or come solo - volunteers of all ages are welcome! Together, we'll pick up litter on the streets surrounding the Garden, making a real, visible difference in our community.

Be the friendly face that helps guests find their way into an evening of music and magic. As a Parking Attendant & Wayfinder, you'll guide cars into the Garden's various lots, keep an eye on which areas are filling up, and redirect guests to open spaces as the evening unfolds. You'll be many visitors' first hello - setting the tone for a night of discovery among the gardens. Sign up to volunteer for this event here.

Help guests find their way from one pocket of music to the next as the Garden comes alive with sound. As a Music Steward, you'll guide foot traffic between performance spaces scattered across the property, pointing people toward each new set and helping them make their way to the evening's finale in the Rita Johnson Garden, where music meets the golden light reflecting off the Dogwood Center's windows. Sign up to volunteer for this event here.
