gARTen Party 2009

 

"Under the Crescent Moon" is the theme for DIVA's third annual fundraising gARTen Party scheduled for the evening of July 18th at the gardens of Spud and Paula Freeman in Junction City.
 

The two acres of spacious gardens, connected by walkways from one to another, include a rose garden, parterre (ornamental flower beds), cut flower garden, vegetable garden, orchard, Japanese style garden and the "west lawn". Lovely water features and sculptures complement these unique spaces.
 

The Mediterranean themed evening has an Oregon flair that features produce from the Freeman's vegetable gardens, Oregon wines and cheeses, and a fabulous feast that includes Oregon lamb, salmon, shrimp and Greek moussaka. Music provided by Mood Area 52. Preview schedule and menu.

 
A silent auction of juried garden art creates an opportunity for garden enthusiasts to secure acquisition of outstanding original pieces.
 

This beautiful summer evening event supports DIVA's efforts to provide the community with juried exhibits by regional visual artists, media arts programming, educational workshops and seminars, art talks, and artist related services.
 

Mark your calendar now for an evening to remember. Participation in the gARTen party is $105 per person, which includes dinner, motor coach transportation, and musical entertainment. Reservations can be made until July 13th at DIVA 110 W. Broadway or with PayPal below. Payment is required to hold reservations.
