What is this event?

At a farm, but you shouldn’t get too dirty

This is our second annual Garden Party event, complete with a silent art auction by local artists. We love a garden in any form (take a gander at our out-of-control office plants if you doubt us), and aim to change up the type of garden a little each year.  

As long as we’re in nature with our friends, eating good food and doing something crafty, we’re happy.

This year, the theme is “Farm Faire”. 

We’re donning our gingham and pulling on our wellies to spend a day at Pomeroy Farm.

Pomeroy Farm, a fellow nonprofit organization, has a “living history farm” depicting farm life in the pre-electric 1920s. 

Don’t worry, you won’t be called on to participate in a reenactment, but the experience of being on this farm on a sunny day in June, having a picnic, looking at art, and playing games on the lawn, is one we just have to share.

Here’s how Pomeroy Farm describes the space: “The house, barn, blacksmith shop, various outbuildings, gardens and grounds, all continue to portray life from an earlier time. We invite you to join us at the farm for a taste of a simpler life, one in which the sunlight shapes our days, our work demands grit and mettle, and family is the most important institution in our lives.”

An escape to the nature not so far from our backyards

We hope you will join us in one of the most beautiful parts of the Southwest Washington. 

Yes- it is a full 35 minute drive from downtown Vancouver. But if you’ve ever moved away from this incredible landscape we call home, you know how easy it is to take the gorge for granted.  The drive out there is stellar, and despite the relative short distance from town, it feels like a genuine escape. 

A fundraiser

While we want to share with our attendees what it feels like to be part of our team (warm, full of laughter, and incredibly creative), this is still one of our 2 annual fundraisers.  For that reason, it is a ticketed event and there will be a few ways (hopefully fun ones) that you will be able to donate to our organization. 

So come ready to bid on art by local artists, participate in a paddle raise, “shop” at our stall of plant starts straight from our office plants, buy raffle tickets (that will definitely be adorable in their own right), and meet all our other friends who we are over the moon to know and love.

June 15th, from 11am-2pm
