Lavender, Blues & Brews

Kick off summer at the Garden with an evening of live music, local food and drink, and the beautiful scent of lavender in the air. Tickets include a special concert from Michael Matison & the Kats (the same beloved duo who brought down the house at our La Luz celebrations this past winter). Starting at 5pm, our Education team will have hands-on activities for all in the Pavilion.

Local vendors will be on-site with food, drinks, and lavender-themed products, including Santa Fe Brewing Company, Picnic NM, and Hello Sweet Cream, with more vendors to be announced soon.

** Feel free to bring your own picnic, but food and drink will be available for purchase from all our local vendors. No outside alcohol.
