GORGEOUS SETTING. AMAZING CAUSE.
Bouquets is Como Friends’ most spirited fundraiser for Como Park Zoo & Conservatory. Although the event is different this year, we have fresh new ways to raise a glass to celebrate and support this beloved community treasure.
The menu is full of fun and flavorful opportunities including Bouquets Live, an online program with zookeeper, gardener and wine talks; Bouquets Garden Stroll, an evening walk through the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory; and Bouquets-in-a-Box filled with curated wine, beer and treats. There’s even a Virtual Marketplace featuring our restaurant and brewery partners, and a fantastic silent auction.
