We have procrastinated writing to you about the fate of the Hidden Gardens Event in June because every day we receive notices of more cancelations of our favorite cultural offerings. It just felt like piling on! However, we know the handwriting is on the wall and we truly regret to inform you that we must cancel this very popular and beloved summer garden extravaganza.

There’s no need to enumerate the reasons why. We know them all by heart now. As Covid-19 has turned our world upside down and we attempt to navigate the rapids of this fast-moving river of information, we will continue to monitor the recommendations and guidelines put forth by the health and governmental powers that be. We will assess whether we can safely gather again later this year and share plans with you if that happens.

The funds raised from the annual Hidden Garden Event represents about 25% of our operating costs each year. With cancelation of this event, as well as our scheduled gallery shows and concerts, needless to say, we still need your support.
