TGC offers various special events throughout the year. Annually each spring we hold our Green Center-grown Plant Sale while each fall welcomes our Fall Fire Festival. We also hold free receptions for all our art exhibits as well as occasional Artist Talks, special presentations, and nature-based family-friendly events.
