Garden Party
Phillips after 5
In partnership with the Embassy of France, celebrate spring! Enjoy the lush garden scenes by Pierre Bonnard and Jennifer Bartlett. Groove to jazz, blues, funk, folk, and rock by the Dave Kline Band with special guest Lynn Veronneau on vocals. Bread Furst café will be serving spring vegetable galettes with edible flowers, lamb skewers with mint, cocktails (Lavender Spritz and Gin Rickey–a DC classic with gin, lime, and soda), and beer and wine. Downstairs in the art workshop, adorn yourself with a bouquet or crown of paper flowers and customize a mini terracotta plant pot for your own budding garden. Celebrate Cherry Blossom season with a “Zen Garden” sake cocktail. Come wearing your best spring florals!
