The evening will feature festive cocktail-mixing demo led by Philly Mag Food Editor Alex Tewfik; live panel moderated by Sara Lomax-Reese, President of WURD Radio; lively auction featuring local artwork and exclusive experiences; and Bartram Boxes containing snacks and garden-themed goodies for guests to enjoy at home.

Why? Each year Bartram’s Garden welcomes 100,000 visitors, including 9,000 children who engage in hands-on learning. Bartram’s Garden is committed to empowering local youth, uplifting community voices, and providing a safe green space that facilitates growth, healing, and inspiration.
