Travel the World in 55 Acres!
Garden Feast
Wednesday, May 19, 2021
5:30 – 6:30pm PDT
Virtual Event
Benefiting the Garden’s education programs and extraordinary global plant collections
While we won’t be able to feast together at the Garden this year, we look forward to celebrating this annual tradition with you online.
This past year has made us long for travel, so we invite you to travel the world in 55 acres at
the Garden. Our event starts with an immersive exploration of the Garden’s global collections. Keynote speaker Abby Meyer, executive director
of Botanic Gardens Conservation International – US, will deepen our understanding of the critical role botanical gardens play in conserving global
biodiversity.
Benefiting the Garden’s education programs and plant collections, which feature more than 8,000 kinds of plants, this special event will include
some musical surprises. With schools closed during the pandemic, the Garden has proudly served as an essential outdoor classroom for thousands
of children through Bean Sprouts Family Days, summer camp, and after-school programs. Your support will keep educational programs free and underwrite
scholarships to our tuition-based programs. Now, more than ever, families need the Garden. That’s why we recently joined the Museums for All program
which makes admission free to low-income families.
