Hasn’t it been a while since you’ve strolled through the magnificent Huntington Gardens? How about taking Mom for Mother’s Day?
As we all begin to see the end of nostrorum anno pandemica, it might be a grand time to grab or renew a membership at the vaunted garden, library and art gallery.
Evening strolls are back for members, for example. They are scheduled to begin from
Thursdays–Sundays, May 20–23 and May 27–30, 4:30–8 p.m.
The 1919 café will be open until 7 p.m. and the Huntington Store will be open until 8 p.m.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19 safety protocols, there will be no live music or picnicking permitted. Reservations open May 18 at noon.
There’s more cool stuff at the Huntington besides the stroll:
- Members’ Spring Preview Plant Sale – Members shop early before the sale opens to the public. Choose from a wide variety of rare and unusual plants and proven favorites. Members’ invitations include a coupon for an additional 10% discount in the Huntington Store valid on the day of the plant sale.
- Members’ Twilight Garden Strolls – Enjoy a lovely stroll in the gardens after hours on selected dates during the summer. Dine in the 1919 café or pick up grab-and-go fare in the Red Car coffee shop.
- Members’ Summer Evenings – On selected evenings, Members at the Contributor level and above have the opportunity to walk in the gardens and enjoy casual dining after public hours.
- Founder’s Day Lecture – The topic of this annual institutional talk varies and is decided by The Huntington President.
- Holiday Shopping Day – Each December enjoy holiday programming and a boutique filled with one-of-a-kind treasures made by local artisans.
- Exhibition Previews – All members receive special invitations to preview new exhibitions before they open to the public.
- Premier Events – Affiliate through Benefactor Members are invited to attend quarterly lectures and exhibitions. Lecture subject correlates with Huntington exhibitions, and times vary from afternoon to evening.
