Cultivate: Movement!

May 22 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

$10 – $40

Surround yourself with other creative garden-lovers at Descanso Gardens’ Cultivate, a recurring event that brings together live music, dancing, refreshments, and engaging experiences in nature that will connect you more deeply to the world around you. 

Cultivate: Movement! invites guests to think about what it means for a plant, an animal, or a person to use their body and move through the world.

Wander the grounds at your own pace, with new activations around every corner.

$30 for members, $40 for non-members, $10 for children 3-12 (both members and non-members). Children under 3 are free.

Advance registration required. Register here.
