40th Anniversary Celebration Recap

On Saturday and Sunday Aug 17-18 we celebrated our 40thAnniversary with a number of special events. Over 2 sunny days we welcomed 598 visitors to enjoy a Botanical Art Fundraiser featuring art from over 100artists, special tours, an arborist talk with Bartlett Tree Experts, and a captivating fusion of classical and jazz music, showcasing original compositions by Daniel Velasquez by the SoundsTruck team. Our art fundraiser contributed over $3,000 in sales to support the Garden.Thank you to each of the donating artists who helped make this first-time program a success! And thank you to our program sponsor Blick Art Materials for donating the 6x6" canvas. 

For the remainder of 2024 we are offering complimentary birthday admission as part of our 40th anniversary fun. Get all the details here. We've also developed an exciting number of new volunteer led tours that focus on special topics. Whether you've been a regular visitor to the Garden over the years, or are planning a first time visit - we hope to see you soon.
