Green Thumb Gala

Green Thumb Gala is the largest fundraising event for the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum. Guests gather for a memorable evening under the tent on the Great Lawn—surrounded by iconic stone walls, a picturesque maple grove, and the magical Secret Garden Gala is both a joyful celebration of community and a meaningful success in raising vital support for the Garden. The evening features a festive cocktail hour and garden-inspired silent auction, followed by a seated dinner, live entertainment, and a one-of-a-kind live auction. Together, we celebrate the beauty of the Garden and the generosity of those who help it thrive.
