Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum

Story Thyme is a free weekly preschool program running Tuesdays, 10–11am, April through October. Featuring stories, hands-on gardening, crafts, and nature exploration, it welcomes curious garden explorers of all ages alongside their grownups. If that sounds like fun, join us!

Story Thyme volunteers arrive at 9:30am to organize supplies, set up signage, and prep the garden. During the program, volunteers support families by laying out tools, refilling water buckets, and demonstrating weeding or planting. As the session wraps up, volunteers assist with tidying, prepare produce for donation, and close up the building.
