Tickets and more information at https://bmtcommunitygardens.org/flowers-everywhere-2026-garden-party-fundraiser/
Your ticket purchase goes directly to supporting integral garden systems like our Assistant Manager position, the internship program, community education programs, tools and supplies, and garden infrastructure needs, so that we can continue to build local food sovereignty by growing food to donate at no cost to those friends and neighbors who need it most, and along the way educating others about gardening and growing community.
Whether you have been a community gardener here since the beginning, or you have never visited us prior and want to learn more, everyone is welcome!
