2nd Annual Garden Lovers Weekend
Description
The BCHA and the Berrien Springs Garden Club are delighted to announce the return of Garden Lovers Weekend in 2023! This year brings all new workshops, talks, and opportunities to visit with fellow garden lovers all weekend long. And new in 2023, we are hosting a raffle to let you take home some great garden-themed prizes!
This year's event will charge admission and you have two ways to join us! You can opt to pre-register with a weekend pass for $25.00. This "all-you-can-attend" pass lets you access the talks and workshops all weekend long and gives you a chance to RSVP for your favorite workshop! Day-of Passes are only $10.00 and cannot be purchased ahead of time. These will grant holders access to the day's activities, although there is no guarantee of workshop availability.
