The Society

A Letter from Garden & Gun’s Cofounder & CEO

Dear Friends,

Over the last fifteen years, we have been honored to play host to passionate readers at destinations across the South and beyond. From the hills of Northern Italy to Bermuda’s pink sands, stories have been shared and memories have been made at every turn.

With your unparalleled enthusiasm in mind, I would like to be the first to invite you to join the Garden & Gun Society, a members-only group designed to allow our most engaged readers to experience the magazine—and the best of the South—as never before.  In addition to enjoying exclusive privileges and a direct dial to G&G’s headquarters, Society members are invited to gather annually at an exclusive family-reunion-style event.

Here’s to continued adventures with good friends!

Sincerely,
Rebecca Wesson Darwin
Garden & Gun cofounder & CEO

ANNUAL SOCIETY GATHERING

Every year, Society members are invited to join us for a members-only experience at one of Garden & Gun’s favorite destinations. 

In 2022, G&G hosted the third annual Garden & Gun Society Gathering at Hotel Emma in San Antonio, Texas. During the event, members came together for three days of Lone Star State experiences including curated workshops and sporting excursions, live performances, talks with special guests, and a number of memorable meals paired with creative cocktails.

In the fall of 2021, the Society Gathering took place at the newly renovated High Hampton Inn in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Throughout the event, guests enjoyed private hikes and fly fishing excursions with local guides, exceptional cuisine with wine pairings, a live performance by country star Hailey Whitters and riveting storytelling with G&G editors and special guests.

In 2019, members joined G&G editors, staff, and contributors at the beautiful Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee. Click here to view photos from this fabulous event.
