2024-04-02 17:30 - 19:30 UTC | Carol Lazzeri’s Garden, 4131 Cuthbert Ave, North Port, FL, 34287

What’s Cocktails in the Garden?
“Cocktails in the Garden” is held in a member’s garden from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. It is for members only and spouses are encouraged to attend. The host provides beverages – wine, water, soda and iced tea or lemonade. Four or five members co-host by providing ready-to-eat finger foods that don’t require refrigeration or heating. After members gather, get a beverage and a tidbit to eat, we have “the tour” – we walk around the yard while the host talks about their garden, plants, success, failures and plans for the future. It’s an opportunity to get ideas and advice. It’s also a great way to have fun and get to know each other better. Please bring a chair.
