Wild Ones Smoky Mountains Chapter

Wild Ones Smoky Mountains Chapter is a community-based organization dedicated to promoting native plant landscaping throughout East Tennessee. As a chapter of Wild Ones Natural Landscapers, the organization brings together like-minded individuals passionate about restoring local ecosystems through the strategic use of native plants in public and private gardens. The chapter's vision is to foster a thriving ecosystem where native plants, wildlife, and communities coexist in harmony within the next decade. Through education, community engagement, and collaborative action, Wild Ones Smoky Mountains Chapter empowers local residents to expand their impact in the native landscaping movement while addressing challenges such as water pollution, invasive species, and lack of awareness. Members and the broader Knoxville community are invited to participate in volunteer work days, attend educational webinars and seminars, and connect with local experts to learn practical techniques for sustainable gardening and habitat restoration.
