Great Fall Kickoff: Music, Blooms & the Garden After Dark

Friday, October 9, 2026 • Desert Botanical Garden

A Great Evening Begins with Great People

Six members, music throughout the Garden, and plenty of laughter made this a wonderful way to welcome fall. We explored the illuminated paths, discovered the pillow-filled SuperBloom room, and kept the jokes and conversation going along the way. And perhaps the evening’s most surprising accomplishment? We all stayed together the entire night.Apparently, good company is better than a head count.

A small group gave everyone a chance to join the conversation—and this group certainly made the most of it.

Evening Highlights

  • Music around the Garden gave us a soundtrack as we explored.

  • The SuperBloom room, filled with pillows, was a fun discovery along the way.

  • The Garden after dark treated us to glowing landscapes and a whole different view of the desert.

  • Laughter and jokes throughout the evening made the walk every bit as entertaining as the surroundings.

  • Nobody wandered off! With so much to see, our group still stayed together from beginning to end.

Photo Highlights

Big blooms, big smiles, and a group that kept the laughter going.

The Garden gave us plenty of reasons to stop for a photo.

Good company made an already colorful evening even brighter.

Quote of the Night

“Small group led to great conversations and lots of laughs.”

— Lori D ·

That sums up exactly what we hope these evenings will be.

Paul Vaccaro also gave the evening five stars:

“The gardens are beautiful Lots of fun with the other guests Harry did a great job”

And Sherri gave the outing another five-star review, sharing that she enjoyed it.

Three reviews, three five-star ratings—and a lovely reminder that the people make the experience.

Looking Ahead

There are more opportunities to get together, explore, and make new friends this fall.
