The Hudson Gardens & Event Center

A PLACE FOR BRANCHING OUT

The Hudson Gardens & Event Center is a nonprofit organization encompassing thirty acres of garden exhibits, trails, natural terrain, and event venues only minutes from downtown Littleton. These spaces become scenic backdrops for special events, private occasions, and community programs that encourage people to bond over nature, artistry, health and wellness. We also provide a membership experience and free, daily admission for self-directed exploration.

A PLACE BUZZING WITH EVENTS

We’re constantly dreaming up new ways to connect visitors with people, nature, and artistry. The calendar of events includes a Summer Concert Series, an extravaganza of Christmas lights, a beer festival, and races. Year-round community programs include beekeeping classes, gardening workshops, yoga sessions, bird walks, drum circles, and more. Hudson Gardens has also become a popular destination for private occasions ranging from weddings to meetings and other corporate events.

OUR ROOTS

King and Evelyn Hudson purchased five acres of land in 1941 for their home and a farm-to-table restaurant called The Country Kitchen, which became popular with locals. Evelyn established the King C. Hudson and Evelyn Leigh Hudson Foundation so their land could be a community asset for generations to come. The Hudson Gardens officially opened in 1996 and was later renamed The Hudson Gardens & Event Center to reflect the growing popularity of concerts, community programs, and other opportunities for recreation and entertainment.
