As in previous years, we feature 5 of the area's finest private gardens, with snacks, drinks, and wine at each location. 5 different music groups complement the natural splendor and culinary selections with musical offerings spanning a range of folk and ethnic styles. This event is a fundraiser and proceeds benefit the continued operation of the Baroque Festival's annual concert season. Tickets are $30 ($25 for subscribers) and available through SCBF, the UCSC Ticket Office, the Civic Center Box Office, and various local garden and music stores (TBA on our website).
