Save the Date for the 34th annual

Art in the Gardens

The 34th annual Art in the Gardens returns to Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens on Saturday, August 7, and Sunday, August 8, bringing together creative expression, peak summer blooms, and coastal beauty for one unforgettable weekend on the Mendocino Coast.

During this major summer fundraiser, the Gardens transform into a vibrant open-air celebration featuring more than 50 artists showcasing ceramics, jewelry, photography, woodwork, and more. The heart of the celebration takes place on the Event Lawn, where you can enjoy live music and entertainment all weekend long. Savor delicious offerings from local food vendors alongside craft brews and regional wines, available by the glass or through an all-day tasting experience that includes a complimentary commemorative glass.

Beyond the Event Lawn, sculptures dot the landscape while sweeping Pacific views and spectacular dahlia displays create a stunning backdrop throughout the weekend. Wander from artist booths to garden paths, and ocean overlooks, taking in seasonal highlights including dazzling dahlias, begonias, vibrant perennials, and the Gardens’ organic demonstration vegetable garden. Whether you are discovering a new favorite artist, finding a one-of-a-kind treasure, or simply enjoying a summer day on the coast with family and friends, Art in the Gardens is a celebration you will not want to miss.

This beloved community tradition and key fundraiser supports the nonprofit Gardens’ mission to conserve plants and create meaningful connections between people, plants, and place.
