A Derby Pop-Up

On Thursday, April 19, Garden & Gun and the Dewberry hosted a Derby Pop-Up shopping event for friends and readers to stop by for Maker’s Mark mint juleps and quintessential Derby shopping. Guests sipped on juleps made by the Dewberry’s Ryan Casey for Mint Julep Month and browsed Derby-themed items from Garden & Gun’s Fieldshop and local partners Candy Shop Vintage, Sideshow Press, and Brackish.
