We are already looking forward to dahlia season and the 30th annual Art in the Gardens (AIG) at Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens! Two days of festivities will take place on Saturday, August 5 and Sunday, August 6 from 11:00am to 5:00pm. Join us in a celebration of creative expression, gorgeous gardens, music, food, and drink. Mingle with more than 50 artists, enjoy live music, and dramatic summertime blooms. Food, craft brews, and wine will be available for purchase. In honor of the 30th anniversary, we are bringing back wine tasting — sample an array of wines from around Mendocino County.
