This is Not Your Ordinary Gala

Forget what you know about fundraisers. Farm to Table(aux) is where art, nature, and performance collide in a darkly enchanting world unlike anything the Treasure Valley has ever seen. This year's theme, Beastly Botanicals, invites you into the realm of jewel-toned decadence, metallic shimmer, and moody whimsy, where carnivorous plants stretch toward the sky, iridescent beetles glisten under soft candlelight, and mysterious creatures emerge from the shadows. From the moment you arrive, you'll be immersed in an evening of spectacle where living tableaux, breathtaking performances, and gourmet dining unfold against the backdrop of the Garden's most magical spaces.
