We are so honored to partner with Sertoma of Knoxville in providing opportunities for individuals with disabilities throughout East Tennessee.

Our paths first crossed a number of years ago when Lee Freeman, then Executive Director of Sertoma, contacted us with a business proposition. Since that time, our relationship and shared mission have continued to grow stronger each year.

In this video, meet Jonathan and see the incredible impact he makes each day through his work with Sertoma and Special Growers. His story is a powerful reminder of what can happen when organizations come together to create meaningful opportunities, purpose, and community inclusion.

Our May Garden Dinner was a tremendous success! Special thanks to Chief Jeremy Harris from The Restaurant at RT Lodge for an incredible dinner prepared outdoors over the open fire.

Even with the warm temperatures, the evening was filled with wonderful fellowship, great food, and lots of fun. We are especially grateful to share that we surpassed our evening fundraising goal of $5,000 to help continue the expansion of our outdoor gardens.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the mission of Special Growers!

Thank you for your continued support this year and for believing in our mission.

As the holiday season approaches and you think about your gift lists, please keep our Special Growers in mind.

Today, on Giving Tuesday, we would like to express our gratitude once again. If you are looking for a way to support us, we have created an Amazon wish list of items we use daily. While some of the items are small, they would be tremendously helpful.
