In an era of uncertainty and change, California native plants can help to show us a way forward. As we begin to reach the depths of these dog days of summer, we’re so excited to be back among the abundant habitats of the California Botanic Garden for an evening of friends, vibrant jams, and a muuuuch needed treat of native-plant infused shaved ice.
Explore, learn, and connect with your local bioregion during California Botanic Garden’s annual garden grooves. Pack a picnic, explore the largest garden devoted to California native plants, and groove with us as we amplify performances from Jonny Stallings Cárdenas and Logan Hone in the Forest Pavilion. Jonny is joining us solo, while Logan will have an ensemble featuring Jonny, Adam Starkopf, Greg Uhlmann, and JP Maramba.
