Beer Garden Sponsorship

The Beer Garden

Beer Garden is the Garden’s main fundraising event of the year, with every dollar raised supporting core programs in environmental education, conservation and research, and native plant horticulture. This year’s event is extra special as it takes place during the Garden’s 100th birthday weekend. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Mission Canyon, 400 ticket holders are invited to explore the Garden’s 5.5 miles of walking trails while enjoying one-of-a-kind beers uniquely paired with California’s native plants. Acoustic music performances and paired finger foods supplied by area restaurants add to this multi-sensory, outdoor experience.

Join us on March 14, 2026, as we raise a glass to the Garden’s next century!

Thank you to our 2026 Event Committee: Matt Kettmann (Co-Chair), Sophia Taylor (Co-Chair), Sarah Berkus Gower, Jonathan DiBenedetto, Katie Gerpheide, Rose Pondel, Dawn Seymour, and Jesse Smith
