Promotional graphic for the Eudora Welty Birthday Bash, happening April 11-12, featuring free tours all day. Events include cupcakes and crafts, live typewriter poetry with S.I.R. at 1 p.m., and Welty-era record spinning with DJ Tyler Tadlock at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 11. On Saturday, April 12, a 'Birthday Edition' Welty Garden Volunteer Day will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The design includes pastel-colored balloons, bunting, a record player, and a cupcake illustration.

Join us in celebrating Eudora Welty’s 116th birthday with a morning dedicated to her beloved garden. 

To honor her legacy, we’re restarting our Second Saturday Garden Volunteer Days, inviting visitors to help tend the Welty Garden from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Sign-in sheets will be available under the arbor upon arrival, and those interested in ongoing opportunities can email us to join our volunteer list, which shares weekly tasks the day before.

Free tours will also continue on Saturday, April 12. 
Tour capacity is limited, so we recommend emailing info@eudoraweltyhouse.com to reserve a spot.

Whether you’re here to get your hands in the soil or simply to explore the house and garden, we’d love to celebrate with you!
