Art, music, and good food will be featured at the annual Art in the Gardens celebration Sunday, May 7, at Lendonwood Gardens in Grove. The public is invited to enjoy the artistry of local painters, photographers, sculptors and musicians, all set against the botanical garden’s colorful backdrop.

During the event, artworks will be available for sale at individual booths scattered through the three-acre botanical garden. In addition, live music will be performed by vocalists and instrumentalists throughout the day. Performers will include the Native American Performing Art Troupe, Jessica Freeman, Carolyn Funk and the Christian band Stella.
