A wonderful way to experience the beauty of Prairiewoods while supporting our mission of caring for Earth, nurturing the human spirit and building community!
Each June, as the prairie begins to stretch toward summer and the gardens awaken with new life, Prairiewoods looks forward to welcoming friends and supporters to our annual Garden Party fundraiser. It’s a beautiful time of year on our land as prairie grasses stretch toward the sun, the woods fill with birdsong, and the gardens begin producing the first vegetables of the season. We are always delighted to welcome guests to Prairiewoods to experience the beauty, peace, and hospitality of this special place.
Garden Party is an opportunity to gather as a community in support of Prairiewoods’ mission of caring for Earth, nurturing the human spirit, and building meaningful connections among people. Throughout the year, Prairiewoods offers retreats, educational programs, and ecological stewardship of our 67 acres, while also providing spaces where individuals and groups can step away from daily busyness to reconnect with nature, with one another, and with what matters most.
Our Green Prairie Garden also plays a meaningful role in supporting the wider community. Each year, volunteers help grow fresh produce that is donated to local food pantries, including Metro Catholic Outreach and the Hiawatha Public Library food pantry, helping ensure that fresh, healthy food reaches families who need it.
We hope you will join us for Garden Party on Saturday, June 20, from 5–8 p.m. here at Prairiewoods. The evening will feature live music, a short live auction, a delicious meal with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages, and the chance to enjoy the beauty of our grounds with friends old and new. Guests are encouraged to stroll the property and explore the gardens, labyrinth, Nature Playscape, Four Winds Food Forest, and the many peaceful spaces that make Prairiewoods so special.
Garden Party is also an opportunity to look toward the future. During the evening we will share new ways that friends of Prairiewoods can help sustain and expand the impact of this sacred place for years to come.
Tickets are $60 per person. For Garden Party donations, please donate via this link: http://weblink.donorperfect.com/gp2026
