Twilight in the Garden: A Benefit for Bartram’s Garden

October 6, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Twilight in the Garden is the annual gala to benefit Bartram’s Garden and the year’s largest fundraiser. Join us to celebrate this beloved public space and ensure its continued growth.

Join us for a festive night of great company, an unparalleled setting, and deep gratitude as we gather in honor of this legendary landscape. You and your guests will enjoy:

  • A magical choose-your-own adventure evening, with options for everything from sunset garden tours to cozy riverfront fire pits
  • Silent auction featuring travel, artwork, private experiences, and more!
  • Autumnal cocktails and seasonal treats

We’re honored to celebrate three champions of Bartram’s Garden who have dedicated themselves to creating greener, stronger communities:

2023 Twilight in the Garden Honorees

  • Southwest Tree Coalition Co-Founder Ivy Berry
  • Longtime former Commissioner of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Kathryn Ott Lovell
  • Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05)

A portion of the ticket price is tax-deductible. All proceeds from Twilight in the Garden support Bartram’s Garden, a public park welcoming more than 100,000 visitors annually.
