Join us for a spectacular spring evening in the Garden, on Thursday, May 14th for Twilight in the Garden – the Upstate’s Premier Garden Party! We look forward to this year’s signature fundraising event with an elegant, celebrated garden party including handcrafted cocktails, an irresistible gourmet dinner by Cribbs Catering, and the finest selection of both live and silent auction items from local artisans, shops, and individuals and the most fun trips around! Live music will be provided by Tipton Jones-Boiter, who played performed with Remedy 58, the last Friday at our Music in the Children’s Garden series of spring concerts.
Twilight in the Garden supports Hatcher Garden’s mission to provide a place for inspiration, enjoyment, and education through the study of nature—free and open to the community year-round.
