Jacksonville Symphony Guild Designer Showhouse and Gardens

English Garden Party Evening

  • When: Friday, April 18 from 7:00 until 10:00 P.M, cost is $85 per person

Celebrating the opening of this year’s Showhouse will be a wonderful preview party from 7:00 until 10:00 P.M, on Friday, April 18. The grand event will be an English Garden Party Evening. This enchanting event will be held in Central Park that is a part of Pablo Creek Reserve. The area is actually modeled after Fredrick Law Olmsted’s grand masterpiece, Central Park in New York City.

Fine food catered with an English flare will be served in the beautifully created English garden. A strolling violinist will play as guests cross the manicured lawn to tour this year’s Showhouse & Gardens. A special drawing with only a limited number of unique items will be included as part of this very unusual evening. Please join us for this rare opportunity to enjoy a Garden Party as only the English do so well, by making your reservations now. Call the Guild today at (904) 358-1479.
