Reynolda’s Dinner in the Gardens
Join Us for a Very Special Evening
Wednesday, May 6 | 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Brown Family Conservatory & Formal Gardens
Due to the overwhelming support from all of you, Reynolda’s Dinner in the Gardens is now SOLD OUT! We received an enthusiastic response for individual tickets and want to extend our gratitude to all of our ticket purchasers and sponsors for their commitment to Reynolda Gardens!
Begin with cocktails in the Brown Family Conservatory before walking out to the Cryptomeria Allée, where tables will be set between rows of soaring Japanese cedars.
The gardens will be in full voice.
Peonies on the verge. Roses wide and unapologetic. Alliums lifting above the beds. Wisteria drifting where it will. Tulips, hyacinths, and Dutch irises still carrying their color. Snapdragons and baptisia steady in the borders.
Why This Evening Matters
Reynolda Gardens has always been open—free to wander, to sit, to meet a friend, to take the long way home. They serve as a shared green space for our community, generous and restorative.
Proceeds from Reynolda’s Dinner in the Gardens sustain the entire living landscape: the formal gardens at its center, the broader grounds that unfold beyond, the forest trails and wetlands, the meadow, the edges, and all the in-between spaces that make the gardens feel wide and welcoming.
A seat at the table supports the daily care that keeps the gardens open and beautifully tended for all.
The Work Behind the Beauty
Gardens don’t maintain themselves. They require knowledge, patience, and steady hands—in heat, in rain, even in snow.
This dinner supports the incredible Reynolda Gardens team of horticulturists and volunteers whose work is often invisible but always felt: the planning, planting, pruning, repairing, and reimagining that allows thousands of visitors each year to experience something that feels effortless.
All sponsors of Reynolda’s Dinner in the Gardens will receive a designated number of seats to our tented dinner in the in Cryptomeria Allée along with specialty cocktails served in the Brown Family Conservatory. Sponsors at all levels are also recognized on the event landing page and on printed event materials.
We are truly grateful for your support of this special evening celebrating the beauty, stewardship, and shared generosity that sustain Reynolda’s gardens and trails.
