Events

We are looking for volunteers to help staff our table at the Community Organization Fair during the Dogwood Arts House & Garden Show, held February 6–8, 2026 at the Knoxville Convention Center.

This is a high-traffic event, with more than 5,000 attendees over three days, and a great opportunity for us to share our mission, connect with the community, and recruit new supporters.

Event details

Friday, February 6: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Saturday, February 7: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Sunday, February 8: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Our setup includes a 6-foot table and two chairs. We plan to have at least two volunteers at the table at all times and to work in shifts, so volunteers can explore the House & Garden Show before or after their shift.

Volunteer perks

Free admission to the show (normally $10). We currently have 6 free tickets available and will request additional tickets if we have more than six volunteers.

Flexible scheduling—sign up for one or more shifts.

A chance to engage with the public, support local ecology and gardening efforts, and represent our organization at a major community event.
