A Heartfelt Thank You for an Incredible Music in the Gardens Season!

To everyone who joined us this year, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect season—sunshine-filled days, fantastic music, and the most wonderful people coming together to create unforgettable memories.

We are especially grateful to the incredibly talented musicians who graced our stage. Your beautiful performances were the heartbeat of our summer, providing the perfect backdrop for afternoons filled with garden bliss.

This year’s amazing lineup included:

  • Chloe & the Steel Strings
  • The Funk Trio
  • TSA Urban Jazz Collective
  • Southview & Northview Tri-M
  • Christopher Schoelen
  • Birds of a Feather Sing Together
  • Ellie Martin Duo
  • TSA String Quartet
  • Rebecca Swett
  • Jeff Tucker

A special shout-out to the food trucks, whose delicious offerings added extra flavor to our event days. We’re so grateful for your participation in making this season even more delightful!

Thank you to:

  • Sweet Nate’s Coffee Food Truck
  • Naan Stop Kebap
  • Jacky’s Depot
  • Swanky Scoops
  • Smashdawgz Food Truck

Of course, none of this would have been possible without our incredible 577 volunteers. You brought heart and soul to every event. From the warm greeters at Virginia’s House to the Curiosity Shop volunteers who introduced guests to their next favorite read, and to our enthusiastic teen volunteers guiding nature art and craft activities—your passion made everything come alive. A special mention goes to our volunteer beekeeper, who offered guests a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of our bee program.

We were also honored to host For the Love of Cats and 419 Orphan Kitten Club, who joined us for an inspiring afternoon of learning about cat adoption and fostering. Your dedication to helping our furry friends made this event extra special.

To everyone who attended, performed, volunteered, or contributed in any way—thank you. Your presence made this season truly remarkable.

We can’t wait to see you again next year! Stay tuned for details about the 2025 season, coming early next year.
