Garden Party 2014
The Kruckeberg Botanic Garden's annual gala fundraiser for 2014 will be another exciting party with renowned guests and unique auction items, including enjoyable experiences with our Northwest notables. As usual, Dr. Kruckeberg, now 94, plans to attend. Come celebrate Art and support his and Mareen's living legacy, our crown jewel of a garden. Have a good time with good food at a good price for a good cause.

We are still planning GardenParty, so event details such as food and entertainment aren't yet decided, but we want to give you a glimpse of who we have lined up so far to help spark our evening. Please check back as we will update this site regularly with additional celebrities and other information. But don't wait to buy your ticket. We hear GardenParty will be a sellout this year!
