We had over 600+ people through doors.
We did $15k+ in alcohol sales alone.
We received 50+ UGC posts on IG. 

SAPPHIC SUMMER - OUR FIRST WEEKEND EVENT WITH 600+ TICKETS SOLD AND A 200+ PERSON LINE WAITING AT DOORS.

SATURGAY MORNINGS

Our newest concept, Saturgay Mornings, was designed to bring together the LGBTQIA+ community of Chicago and a community + sober focused way. From idea conception to event we had two weeks, and here's how the numbers went..

We had over 200+ RSVPS.
We had over 80+ people through doors.
We sold out 25+ pastries.
We sold out all custom lattes within a few hours.
We had two DJs on b2b decks.

We are excited to make this a quarterly+ installment for the Chicago queer community and look forward to partnering with local and nationwide brands to feature throughout the event - from our custom drinks to our deliverable content.

Our Sapphic Salon was a new concept for Garden Of - we wanted to bring to life the old European salons while blending with modern takes and queer artistic showcases.

We had a Shibari session, four live painters, and a Drag Queen playing the french horn alongside our DJ. We featured custom Sapphic Salon Drinks, and featured products from our sponsors Pamos and Banana Split Shop throughout the event.

We limited this event to 175 ticket sales to have a smaller yet more impactful experience. This event was the first of it's kind, and resulted in a high UGC response from attendees. 

THE SAPPHIC SALON

Chicago has an incredible queer scene, but many spaces remain (1) nightlife-first and (2) male dominated. 


Garden Of was created to offer something different: intentional, sapphic-centered experiences designed for real connection.
 
Garden Of exists for people who want to show up as they are - whether they come alone, sober (if they choose), are new to the city, are newly out, or are simply looking for community beyond traditional bar culture.

OUR PARTIES SET THE NEW STANDARD.

THE GARDEN OF ECOSYSTEM

Garden Of operates across multiple formats, from daily coworking to weekly programming and large-scale cultural events. This creates consistent, accessible spaces for our community while offering partners meaningful, repeatable ways to show up and engage over time.

A growing ecosystem built for longevity, not novelty.
