Q: What's a Garden Party?
A: A garden party is a gathering of family and friends that is held outdoors, in a beautiful private garden during the afternoon. Good food, good drink, regulation size lawn games and lots of space for comfortably distanced socializing and interactive activities.
Just add Friends, Food and Drink.

Client Feedback:
"I worked with Frank to plan an awesome 40th birthday party for my husband. Frank was fantastic to work with and the location was perfect for this event. There are so many great spaces to work with-we used one space for putting out food and setting up a bar and another to set up tables with board games and cupcakes, plus there was a ton of great yard space for the variety of games Frank put out (badminton, giant Jenga, cornhole, etc.). We lucked out with perfect weather, but there was plenty of covered space so it would have been fun even in the rain. The grounds are gorgeous and it’s such a special place right in the city!" ~Jennifer K.
"This venue is beautiful, and they were awesome to work with. We booked for an afternoon garden party and it was the perfect setup: lawn games, picnic tables and blankets, a mix of shade and sun, lots of different nooks for people to sit/hang out in and a relaxing nature-filled surroundings. They take excellent care of the property, are super accommodating to the vision we had, and loved to share their knowledge of the gardens which was really interesting. Would not hesitate to book again!" ~Tim O.
"We recently hosted a 1st Birthday party for our son at FranMo Urban Farm. It's a lovely, park-like setting perfect for our small group of close family and friends. All communication was promptly handled from the very start. The owner, Frank, was easy to work with from our initial tour of the property all the way through to the day of the party." ~ Michelle P.
