Tulips in the Garden

Tulips in the Garden: A Black Queer Supper Club is a soft landing space for Black Queer Women, Femmes, and Gender Expansive folx in Durham, North Carolina. Four times a year, we gather to share a nourishing meal, celebrate Black Queer joy, and support our local community.

Tulips in the Garden is rooted in four foundational pillars.

Community lies at the heart of everything we do, we cultivate a strong, supportive, and inclusive environment for Black Queer Women, Femmes, and Gender Expansive folx.
We celebrate Black Queer joy through intentional activities, cultural expressions, and affirmations of identity, fostering a sense of belonging within the Black Queer community.
Nourishment is key to all of our gatherings, we provide both a nourishing meal and experience that feeds the body and soul, emphasizing communal dining as a powerful means of connection and care.
Our commitment to service extends beyond our immediate circle, we engage with the broader community through service with local non-profits and support for community initiatives, fostering a culture of solidarity and reciprocity.
