The Chinquapin Gardens Advisory Board hosts two events during the gardening season. Both are potluck, include raffles and are a great opportunity socialize with fellow gardeners, as well as celebrate our gardening successes.
Spring Social: This is held in late April with the focus on kicking off a new season and welcoming our new gardeners. Here are photos from the August 2025 picnic. The 2026 Spring Social will be held April 25 from noon-2 p.m. in the pavilion near the gardens.
Summer Picnic: This is held in late August and gives us an opportunity to show off the fruits of our labor with our pot luck contributions, many of which are quite amazing! We also announce the winners of the garden awards, hold a tomato tasting competition and conduct a raffle. The 2026 Summer Picnic will be held August 8 in the pavilion.
