Twilight in the Garden

Friday, October 2, 2026 | 5:30-9:30 PM

Join us for Twilight in the Garden, an evening of elegance, entertainment, and impact celebrating Bartram's Garden's 50 acres. Your support helps provide free public programming, river access, and green space for 125,000 visitors each year.

This year, we're honoring two leaders whose work has shaped Philadelphia's landscapes and communities: the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, a fellow historic botanic institution advancing civic life and community wellbeing under the leadership of President Matt Rader, and Congressman Dwight Evans, for his longstanding commitment to public service and steadfast support of Bartram's Garden.
