We are so excited that our Evening in the Garden is coming up in less than one month! This year’s event will take place on Sunday, September 17 from 5 – 7 p.m. in Fire Station Park, which is located at Larrabee and Armitage behind the fire station.
First held in September of 2014, Evening in the Garden celebrates the close of summer, our garden volunteers and the garden harvest. This garden party is used to honor the heart put into many neighborhood achievements including retiring police officers and especially the volunteers who make our neighborhood parks such special gathering places. The event includes food, wine and beverages from neighborhood restaurants and businesses. The event is free and open to the public.
