2026 Botanical Evening in the Garden

A Botanical Evening in the Garden
 
 Join us for a relaxing and inspiring evening in the beautiful Idea Garden at Sarah Bush Lincoln Hospital on Thursday, June 18, from 5:30–7:30 PM.

Stroll through the garden and learn about the plants, design, and care behind this special space from the Master Gardeners who tend it. As you explore, enjoy samples of botanical beverages and garden-inspired snacks—infused with herbs, fruits, and edible flowers grown right in the garden!

Come see what’s new in the garden! Even if you joined us last year, you’ll notice some exciting changes. Some of the spaces have been redesigned with new features and fresh ideas to inspire you, making this year’s experience one you won’t want to miss. 

Whether you’re a plant enthusiast, a casual gardener, or just looking for a peaceful way to spend your evening, this event offers a perfect blend of education, flavor, and community. 

The Idea Garden is located near the emergency department entrance on the west side of the hospital, 1000 Health Center Drive, Mattoon.
