A Wildflower Affair
Celebrate the Ijams family's environmental legacy in the place where it all started: the homesite gardens!
This event made its debut in 2025 as part of Ijams Nature Center's 50th anniversary of being a nonprofit organization, and it was a hit!
Make plants to join the fun Friday, May 8, from 11 am-1 pm. You'll enjoy live jazz from the Sam Adams Trio, create arrangements with beautiful fresh flowers, make a mimosa or vodka cocktail, and hear more stories about Ijams Nature Center's history (and its future) at this seated luncheon featuring fresh, seasonal fare and a few surprises!
Seating is limited. Don't wait; get your tickets before April 30!
Dress is garden party casual. Complimentary shuttle service provided. Carpooling encouraged.
