Evenings in the Garden don’t get much sweeter. 🌙✨
Join us for a laid-back, joy-filled celebration of bees, blooms, and all things pollinator in our charming 1800s McCauley Heritage Garden. As the sun dips low, wander through gardens buzzing with life, sip something delicious, sway to the sound of live fiddle tunes, and settle in with a picnic blanket or lawn chair to enjoy the summer evening unfolding around you.
This event is designed for slow strolls, hands-on fun, and learning more about bees—whether you’re 7 or 70. Bring the whole family, grab dinner from a local food truck, and soak in the beauty of a North Carolina evening made even better by the pollinators who make it all possible.
