​
There are countless reasons why each of us fell in love with Jefferson Market Garden. Maybe it was the first time you saw children giggling as they searched for frogs and butterflies. Or the sound of jazz floating under the dogwoods. Maybe it was a quiet moment on a sunny bench enjoying the fragrance of the nearby roses or the unexpected joy of watching newlyweds share a kiss. Ask anyone who’s wandered through the Garden gates and they’ll tell you—it’s magic.
​
As supporters of the Garden, we each came for different reasons—but stayed because it gives so much back. For 50 years, this gem has welcomed us all with open gates. It has been lovingly cared for by volunteers, shaped by its leaders, and sustained by supporters like you with no city funding, just heart and hard work. The Garden belongs to all of us—and it thrives because our community is with us, season after season.
​
Now, as we mark this golden milestone, we ask you to help us honor the past and invest in the future. We invite you to join us on September 15, 2025, at the Garden and Rosemary’s for a very special evening, and to consider a gift in honor of all we’ve built together—and all we still can.
