Chefs in the Garden

Chefs in the Garden, BGO’s signature spring fundraiser, is back by popular demand for its 15th year. This event will be held on Tuesday, May 23 from 5:00 to 8:30 pm.

Guests can enjoy the beauty of the Garden while listening to live music, sipping on local libations, watching cooking demonstrations by the area’s finest chefs, and sampling their tasty creations. This year, the event has been nominated for the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame’s best “Food-Themed Event.”

Chefs in the Garden sells out every year – so get your tickets early! BGO members have the first opportunity to buy tickets from now until March 29th, when tickets go on sale to the general public. Tickets are $90 for general admission with a $15 discount for BGO members.

Proceeds support the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks, and a portion of each ticket sale will also benefit the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank.

This event is for guests aged 21 and up, and will take place rain or shine.
