25th Anniversary Celebration Dinner
Sunday, June 28th, 2026
Join us for an unforgettable evening at our 25th Anniversary Celebration Dinner, a special event dedicated to honoring our past, present and future commitment to the mission of The Oregon Garden, and celebrating a quarter-century of achievements.
Experience the ambiance of a summer cocktail hour in our Bosque, featuring forty sunset maples strung with lights shading four reflecting ponds, designed by distinguished landscape architect Wallace Kay Huntington to serve as the heart of the Garden.
Our program continues in the J. Frank Schmidt Jr. Pavilion, a former Arabian horse barn turned stunning event space, named for pioneering nurseryman and founder of J. Frank Schmidt & Sons Co. Enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by Roth’s Fresh Markets featuring wine provided by Willamette Valley Vineyards.
Throughout the evening you will hear from individuals instrumental to the Garden’s founding and design, those who its mission has touched, and who are helping to shape its future.
This milestone event is a testament to the power of community and commitment to a dream. Whether you were present at the groundbreaking, are a brand new member or have a personal connection to our work, we can’t wait to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished together.
We look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with you and continuing our shared mission; to welcome and inspire all visitors with an appreciation for the extraordinary ecology of the Pacific Northwest.
