Conservatory of Flowers Annual Gala, Nov. 18 + return of the Garden Railway

The annual gala for the Conservatory of Flowers is coming up this month, celebrating the 140th anniversary of Golden Gate Park. View the invitation

The gala event on November 18 will include a Whistlestop Scavenger Hunt, leading from depot to depot through the Conservatory’s Galleries, a raffle with prizes of $500, $750 and $1000, a silent auction, and a new signature wreath auction.

The gala also offers a sneak peek at the Conservatory’s annual Garden Railway Exhibit, whose theme this year is Golden Gate Park. The exhibit will include an all new landscape featuring Golden Gate Park, its many landmarks, water features and botanical elements, all replicated in miniature.

Check out the video below to see last year’s Garden Railway in action, which was made from reclaimed materials.

All proceeds from the gala event support the Conservatory of Flowers youth environmental education programs. Tickets start at $150 per person and can be purchased online.
