Tuesdays on the Terrace-Toad Lilies & Bat Bites: September 16

This isn’t your garden variety afterwork party. Each month (April-October), Botanica pairs a floral bloom with a featured cocktail for Tuesdays on the Terrace. It’s all about the art of mixology and horticulture and gathering with friends and co-workers for a good time in the Gardens. We like to think of it as social irrigation!

Jazz Under The Stars

Join us Thursday, September 13 at 7:30 pm for the second installment of our Concerts in the Gardens series featuring the Pete Zimmer Quintet.

They have taken New York by storm and are ready to entertain you at their Wichita debut. Make plans to join us for a fine example of modern mainstream jazz in the colorful backdrop of the Gardens in autumn.
