Together We're Better

You're invited to Summer Nights, every Wednesday in July!

Each Wednesday will have a few opportunities to hang out and connect: it may be a park, a place to grab a bite, or a fun activity with our Garden families.  Some locations are free and B.Y.O.F. (bring your own food, snacks, or dinner) while others are at restaurants where we'll each pick up our own tab.  Some require pre-registration and others only require you to show up! With the exception of one, special Summer Night, at least one venue will be kid-friendly.

See below for details, including venues and any applicable registration links.  This page will be updated on the Thursday prior to each Summer Night. Locations and general details will also be announced in service.  

Check back each Thursday for the next Summer Night drop or click that button below and have the latest update sent straight to your phone every Thursday morning!

Summer Nights is stepping in for Summer Grow Groups and July's MENtality and Garden Girls Night.  We can't wait to enjoy Summer Nights together!
