EERIE EVENINGS IN SHERMAN GARDENS
10.19.20
By day, Sherman Library & Gardens is a paradise of colorful flowers and blooming plants. But on the evenings of October 23 & 24, the Gardens will offer a glimpse into a different world, when Sherman Gardens presents “Eerie Evenings in the Gardens,” a family-friendly evening of fun and education.
Grab an adventurous partner, or the whole family, and enjoy an eerie garden walk and discover what plants do after dark. Toxic specimens, man-eating plants, and the Forbidden Jungle await! Guests will follow a map and encounter surprises around each corner as the Garden reveals mysteries of the natural world. Guests can grab a quick bite at the hot dog cart too!
Advance ticket sales only! No tickets will be sold at the gate. All guests must wear a face covering and choose a timed ticketed entry to ensure safe physical distancing. Select from 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 7 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for Members, $20 for Non-Members, $5 for ages 3-17. Children 2 and under are free.
“A portion of the proceeds from Eerie Evenings will be donated to Adventures in Living Science, OC Birds of Prey, Project Wildsong, and the Santa Ana Zoo. These organizations are what make our annual “Creatures of the Night” so special. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we can’t host Creatures of the Night this year. I hope the community will come out and enjoy Eerie Evenings in the Gardens. This event will sell out, so get your tickets now,” added LaFleur.
For tickets, visit thesherman.org or call 949.673.2261.
Sherman Library & Gardens is at 2647 E. Coast Hwy, Corona del Mar.
