Through the month of October the Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden was the host site for workshops relating to and leading up to the Day of the Dead Celebration. An amazing line of up workshops every weekend with art, yoga, meditation, music and many other wonderful opportunities for our community to come together. It led up to beautiful Day of the Dead celebration thanks to a wonderful community collaboration. Families and friends gathered in the garden to celebrate Dia de los Muertos and remember departed loved ones. They gathered around and assembled a community altar with photos and items to remember the departed and were surrounded with music, art making, face painting, food and community gathering in a beautiful serene environment. Thank you to all for your hard work creating this amazing event and to all who came and participated, it’s truly a beautiful event not to be missed!
