As a garden for all, your support of our 2025 Gala in the Garden events allow us to serve not only those who visit our grounds, but also those beyond our garden gates. This year you have helped to bring so many new faces to the garden through fun educational events and exciting children’s programs. Through outreach to local schools, a field trip fund has been established and a pollinator pals program has been implemented to educate the next generation about the natural world and to become future stewards of its care. With the expansion of educational programming, events and partnerships, we strive daily to further our efforts to become an indispensable community asset.
