LOCAL NON-PROFIT FEATURE
Gardopia Gardens Inaugural Garden Gala by Stephen Lucke
August 11th, 2021, was a day to remember in the annals of Gardopia Garden’s history. The event represents the 6-year-old grassroots non-profit’s growth from being dead broke to hosting a large fundraising event.
In 2018 and 2020 this feat was attempted but with little success. In 2018 Gardopia did not have the staff or cash flow to pull off an event half the size of the inaugural garden awards gala. Then in 2020, the pandemic canceled any thought of having large events.
