Tchotchke Palooza

Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 9am-6pm

What is Tchotchke Palooza you ask? It is the one time each year that we fill the garden with Ben Hartman’s famous concrete figurines, including historical figures like Joe Louis, Sitting Bull, and Mae West, and fictional characters like Felix the Cat, Dopey Dwarf, and the Lone Ranger!

Guides and volunteers will be at the garden throughout the day to give short tours and to answer your questions. Simply put, this is the best day all year to visit the garden! Hope you can join us! TchotchkePalooza is free to the public, but donations large and small are encouraged! All proceeds support ongoing conservation work and long-term preservation of the garden.
