MARIACHI BONITAS ARE BACK 🎺

They packed this place out last year and we’ve been waiting to get them back ever since. Dinorah Klingler started playing guitar in Mexico City at nine, performing on subways and buses with her sisters, and has spent the decades since building all-female mariachi ensembles, sharing stages with Stevie Wonder, Celia Cruz, and Patti LaBelle along the way. Now she’s doing it here in Sacramento, redefining what mariachi can be in a genre long dominated by men.

Join us Friday, October 30! Doors 5:30pm, music 6:30pm.

If you've never seen a palo verde "snow," it's worth the trip. The tree drops its yellow blossoms all at once and the ground underneath turns completely gold.

Ours bloom twice a year, which is pretty unusual, so you have twice the chance of catching this spectacular phenomenon.

Visit us to check it out!

The ugliest plant in this garden might be the most important one in the state.

This California buckwheat looks like a mess, but it blooms straight through the hottest, driest stretch of summer, feeds native pollinators when almost nothing else is flowering, and produces a delicious honey.

Want to taste the honey it makes? Visit us at The HIVE for free honey tastings!

We grow a lot of what ends up on your plate.

And you taste the farm-to-fork difference. You get the full circle here: the flowers in the garden, the bees working them, the honey they make, and the vegetables growing a few feet away.

Made in collaboration with California Grown 🍯
