Summary

Luminous. Nourishing. Intimate. Inspiring.
Honor summer’s end with an unforgettable farm dinner with artists, astronomers and musicians under the stars.

Land+Sky Farm Dinners are evenings of live music, garden tours, art and science conversations complimented by an exquisite outdoor dinner crafted by Chef Mason Hernandez of Farm Dinner LA.

The series, part of the Land+Sky artist residency, connects experts and creative people with our community to further our understanding of ecology, agriculture and social-cultural history through art in the spectacular Rancho Santa Clara Del Norte and Lloyd-Butler Botanical Gardens.

Your evening begins with a walk through the orchard with our host and Horticulturist Tom Lloyd-Butler and Curator Robin Wallace.

As the sun sets, you’ll be seated at a long ranch table in the orchard for appetizers and an orientation to the night sky by astronomers Russell Crotty, Laura Gruenther and Micah Sittig.

Enjoy Chef Mason’s hearty country paella and savor the bounty of summer while taking in the sounds of Composer Jose Hales Garcia’s expansive, haunting compositions, adding depth and ambiance to our conversations.

Please BYO binoculars, blankets, pillows or chairs to recline in comfort between telescope viewings.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE! Dinner + Stargazing, or Dinner Only, or Stargazing Only. See Tickets for Details.
