Harvest Party

November 16 from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Thank you to all who joined us in a celebration of all things growing at Gateway! Gateway Gardens is a unique center of biodiversity in Chico demonstrating over 200 species of native and edible plants, and supports hands-on learning and applied experiences through student projects and campus partnerships. We were pleased to present this special fundraiser to support the biodiversity, growth, and learning cultivated in our outdoor exhibits.

The 2024 Harvest Party featured:

A delicious harvest appetizer buffet & bar from Roots Catering
Delightful sounds of student jazz combo “5 on 2nd”
Tour of the garden’s new features and meet our student collaborators
Mingling with friends and supporters of the museum and gardens
A raffle of garden and nursery prizes or a special holiday wreath from La Petite Flowers

Adoption of Gateway Gardens native plants
A special silent auction of prizes including:

Personalized native garden consultation by Laura Lampe
Native plant wreath workshop for four friends
A Fossils Adventure, prepping fossils with Sean Nies
As well as garden treasures, books and more!
