Coming Together

39 Private Events in 2022

More than doubled from 19 events in 2021

Sherman Library & Gardens’ 2.2-acre botanical garden is what establishes the property as a truly special event venue. Guests with a discerning eye recognize this and book early, as the gardens can currently host only one private event per evening. Many of life’s rites of passage take place within the garden gates, such as birthday celebrations, proposals, bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, and celebrations of life.

Special events build awareness and generate revenue for Sherman Library & Gardens. Venue rental fees help sustain the botanical gardens, the library, and the year-round calendar of educational programs, and seasonal exhibits for the community.
