Even "a little" rain couldn’t dampen the magic of the Gardeners’ Fair at Old Westbury Gardens. 🌧✨

Under a warmly lit tent on Eagle Hill, guests arrived in good spirits for an evening of celebration, community, and purpose.

This year’s event paid special tribute to Robert A. Bartlett, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Bartlett Tree Experts, whose visionary leadership in arboriculture has helped preserve the vitality and beauty of our treasured trees and landscapes. 🌳

With festive cocktails, heartfelt speeches, a spirited live auction, live music, and a shared love for this special place, the night bloomed beautifully.

A joyful reminder that the Gardens shine brightest when we come together—rain or shine. Thanks to all who attended and supported this event! 🌿🌸
