Arlington is celebrating its milestone 20th Anniversary with the return of their annual autumn garden party and we’d love to extend the invitation to our Living Earth green thumbed garden enthusiasts 🪴
Join us in celebrating Arlington’s incredible history, from an unused lot into Pasadena’s only free public garden, and support Arlington's future as we work together to nurture a place where the coming generations can gather and share. Throughout the night there’s food, music, and Arlington will honor three visionary garden champions.
Linger in the Olive Allée in the twilight or wander a garden path while enjoying our friend Chris Votek on cello, the journey is (y)ours.
Founded in opposition to overdevelopment and the expansion of the 710 Freeway, Arlington Garden is Pasadena's only dedicated public garden. Since breaking ground 20 years ago, this three-acre urban oasis has blossomed into a vibrant wildlife habitat for Pasadena's native flora and fauna, an outdoor classroom, and the host to the only remaining orange grove along historic Orange Grove Boulevard.
We gather at Arlington Garden monthly to reconnect with the natural world and with our community. Here, we are reminded of what's possible when we come together to self-determine our collective futures through art, ecology, and the simple act of gathering among friends. This garden stands as a testament to the power of grassroots action and the transformative potential of communal stewardship.
