Atlantic Gardening Company is throwing a garden bash worthy of a Regency novel—minus the corsets. On Sunday, August 24 (11AM–3PM), their Summer Garden Soirée brings together 30 local makers, live music from Cole Spade, food trucks, fairy hair, wooden puppets, and (yes) an entire greenhouse full of plants. Add $5 mimosas and $3 beers from the Garden Bar, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate summer Sunday.
This isn’t sponsored (we’d tell you if it was). We just like any event where you can buy a macaron, a monstera, and maybe get your hair sparkled—all in one stop. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
FYI:

🎁 One surprise. One price. Endless Raleigh charm.
We’ve all been caught off guard by a fun little gift that made us smile—and that’s the whole idea behind our Raleigh Mini Mystery Box.
For just $29 including shipping, we’ll send you a surprise Raleigh-inspired item. It might be a quirky souvenir, a locally made treat, a cool historic print, or something else entirely. It’s a fun way to celebrate the city—and support our newsletter at the same time.
Each box is different, always delightful, and perfect for anyone who loves Raleigh (or just loves surprises). Plus, every purchase helps us keep delivering our newsletter to your inbox each day—for free.
