Secret Garden Dinner Series
June 10, June 24, July 8, JULY 22 & July 29, 2026 | 5:30-8:30 PM
Step beyond the garden gates and into one of our most sought-after evenings of the season. The Secret Garden Dinner Series brings together exceptional cuisine, enchanting surroundings, and a shared commitment to sustaining the Gardens.
Each evening features a locally celebrated chef presenting a thoughtfully crafted multi-course meal inspired by the beauty and bounty of the Gardens. Guests dine in intimate, storybook settings—from the Magic Tree House to the Charlotte’s Web barn—creating an experience that feels both exclusive and deeply connected to place.
Your ticket is a direct investment in our mission. Proceeds from this dinner series provide essential financial support for garden preservation, educational programming, and year-round access for families and visitors. By joining us, you are helping ensure the Gardens continue to grow, inspire, and serve the community for generations to come.
Reserve your seat and make an impact.
Space is extremely limited, and each evening is uniquely curated—secure your place at the table and support the future of the Gardens.
