Now in its fifth year, the annual Summer Garden Party at the Conservatory has proven to be a delightful evening showcasing a Tacoma gem. It's a fun social time for people to come and enjoy the conservatory and mingle. Scheduled for Friday, music by classical and rock violinist Grace Youn will be performed outside in the gazebo adjacent to a roped-off wine garden in view of lush perennials. Expect raffle prizes. {WV}
