Members’ Day and Annual Meeting

The Members’ Day event begins at 1:00 PM, followed by the Annual Meeting at 4:00 PM.

Join us for an afternoon of member appreciation and to learn about the state of the organization!

As a special treat for our valued members, we’re opening the Garden on a day we’re typically closed—an exclusive opportunity to experience its beauty in a more serene and intimate setting. If you want to attend and aren’t a member, don’t worry! There’s plenty of time to join before May 6.
