UPCOMING EVENTS

At Aster Garden Center, events are an extension of who we are and what we value. We believe this space should bring people together in meaningful and memorable ways, connecting our community to each other and to the natural world around us.

Throughout the year, you will find a mix of experiences that reflect that spirit. From live music and garden gatherings to educational workshops and creative art events, each offering is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and connection.

You may find events hosted by Aster or Kaniksu Land Trust, as well as gatherings led by the many partners we are proud to work alongside. Highlighting these partnerships is an important part of how we build a stronger, more connected community.

We think of Aster as a shared living room for the region. A place where different ideas, voices, and experiences are welcomed and celebrated. By opening our doors to a wide range of events and collaborators, we hope to create a space that feels vibrant, inclusive, and always evolving.

We invite you to return often and see what is coming up next. There is always something new taking root at Aster.
