Looking for some social irrigation? Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is hosting their first of three summer cocktail parties, Garden Groove, in the lush Outdoor Garden next Thursday, June 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. This swanky little event will cost $20 which includes three drinks, free food from area restaurants, free admission to the Conservatory and music by DJimaDJ, (Richard Gartner from Soma Mestizo.)

Anyway, this should be a fun little shindig and the setting is really one of the nicest watering holes in the city. Future Garden Grooves will be on July 27 and August 24, same time and place.

You can buy tickets at the garden gate or by calling (412) 622-6915, ext. 6803.
