Paradise PG - Sat. Aug. 22, 2026, 3-5PM

A Love Letter to Our Donors, Volunteers, and Community Supporters

Paradise PG will gather us together to honor the hearts and hands that have shaped our gardens and to unveil the newest Pacific Grove Cares landscape renovation at the Pacific Grove Community Center. Saturday, August 22, from 3–5 PM.

Your overwhelming response has filled this celebration to the brim, and registration is now closed. Thank you — truly — for claiming your place in this joyful afternoon. Hold it close on your calendar, tucked safely between life’s busy moments, so you don’t miss the chance to be part of this shared gratitude.

Prepare for a tropical‑bright celebration with refreshments, music, and a festive photo backdrop that captures the spirit of summer. Wander through our Silent Auction and discover many treasures — local wine, a cozy B&B stay, and historic Pacific Grove pieces, including watercolor art by Sam Colburn and an original oil by Brian Blood. Every bid you place becomes a seed for future Pacific Grove Cares projects, helping new ideas take root and flourish across our community.

This afternoon is for you — our generous donors, our steadfast garden crews, our Pickup Posse volunteers and our community supporters. You are the ones who coax beauty from the soil, who tend our three gardens, so they thrive, who lift litter from our streets so Pacific Grove shines. Your care is visible in every bloom, every clean walkway, every corner that feels loved.

Come reconnect with friends, meet neighbors, and share in the unveiling of our next Pacific Grove Cares project — early plans, fresh ideas, and ways to lend your voice to what comes next.

We can’t wait to welcome you. A celebration of gratitude. A celebration of you. A celebration of the gardens and community you’ve helped bring to life.
