Troll Fest

RESCHEDULED: May 3, 2025 (Rain Date: May 4)

Join us at the Garden for a fun and whimsical day out! Inspired by Thomas Dambo’s TROLLS: Save the Humans, presented by International Paper, this event celebrates the Troll’s mission to help us live more mindfully and better care for our environment.
