Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Our programming season has launched so get your calendars out and plan an outing with your friends, children, siblings, and parents – Pinecrest Gardens has something for everyone! What I love most is that we offer our own programming combined with presenting community partner events throughout our Garden, Banyan Bowl stage and historic buildings to create enriching experiences for all ages. We’re truly a community-based organization that supports local businesses, gardening, the arts and the good old pastime of play.
Pinecrest Gardens Happenings
You won’t want to miss strolling along the flora and fauna and viewing live performances that range from Jazz music to dance, all showcased in the gorgeous botanical garden campus.
LEARN HOW TO BONSAI
Are you in to mindfulness activities? Try learning how to Bonsai. During my first week on the job I attended the Bonsai Society’s interactive meeting and was wowed. Our very own Gardener Glenn Hilton led participants in a discussion and presentation about the art of Bonsai and how to practice it. Hosted by Pinecrest Gardens, Bonsai Society meetings take place the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m.
