Music in the Garden!

Calgo Garden’s 2nd Annual benefit fundraiser in support of “Connection thru Music”

• A day of live music, workshops, raffles, and other memorable experiences. (See listings below.)
• $10 donation/admission will give you 10% off purchases from Calgo’s THE BARN and Nursery.

Calgo Gardens is privileged to host a day of music and fun to benefit a program we whole-heartedly believe in and support. Your admission donation will benefit (and go in full to) Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey (CVCJ) and its Connection Thru Music program. This intergenerational program pairs those challenged with Alzheimers or dementia with a young volunteer who uses the enduring power of music to reach people whose connections to life and joy are slowly slipping away. It is our goal to bring attention to their work and help it flourish.
