Your gift to the 2024 Gala in the Gardens directly supports the mission of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Thank you!

You're invited to celebrate with us on Thursday, June 13. Gala in the Gardens is back at the Arboretum's main gardens and grounds in 2024 with a theme of Art & Nature. Hosted by the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Foundation Board of Trustees, the Gala in the Gardens is the Arboretum's signature annual fundraising event. 

Art is an enchanting part of what makes the Arboretum such a special experience with pieces throughout the gardens and galleries that are deeply informed by the natural world. At the same time, the Arboretum's gardens stand before us as living works of art in their own right, an ever-changing living museum of botanical wonders.

Designed to delight the senses on a summer evening, this event includes a cocktail reception, dinner al fresco, live and silent auctions and an inspiring program with emcee Belinda Jensen, KARE 11's Chief Meteorologist.
