Gather in the Garden will take place in the Botanical Center at Roger Williams Park. Its purpose is to provide guests an opportunity to try something different, learn something new, and experience art and music in a magically unique setting.
Enjoy the greenery in October at New England's largest glasshouse garden display. A wide variety of plants can be found, including majestic palms, carnivorous plants, cacti, and succulents. The perfect backdrop for photos and the opportunity to unwind with friends and family.
Explore what our community partners have to offer; chosen because of their dedication to helping us live our best lives with intention.
