SOLD OUT – Books & Blooms

“Books & Blooms” is a brand-new spring event at Calgo Gardens celebrating books, gardens, creativity, and community!

Books & Blooms is officially sold out online!

Due to overwhelming interest, a limited number of tickets will be available at the door for $10 while capacity allows. Children 10 and under are free.

Priority admission will be given to guests who purchased advance tickets online. Door sales may pause once event capacity is reached.

Thank you for the incredible response — we can’t wait to welcome you to Books & Blooms at Calgo Gardens for a beautiful day of books, blooms, food, workshops, and community.

Join us! Hosted by Bound for Adventure and In Bloom at Calgo Gardens.

This unique event brings together two worlds we love — the joy of reading and the beauty of plants.

Books & Blooms is a nostalgic Scholastic-style book fair for adults — reimagined for the modern reader and plant enthusiast. Guests will browse curated book selections, meet local authors, enjoy live music, and shop from a thoughtfully chosen collection of local makers, artists, and small businesses — all while surrounded by the gardens in full bloom.

There will be hands-on crafts and workshops throughout the event! Stay tuned for the event schedule!

Cream Ridge Winery will be joining us, and AHS Tinton Falls will be present with adoptable pets!
