Gala in the Garden

Celebrating a Greener World!

• Sunday, May 4, 2008 – 3:00 pm–7:00 pm

Help us Celebrate a Greener World by coming to our annual Gala in the Garden. In keeping with our Greener World theme, our silent auction will have many drought tolerant plants that do well in our environment. And our non-plant auction items will include such things as hand crafted pottery and birdhouses, landscaping consultation services, and gift certificates. Enjoy music by the Southern String Band and gourmet hors d'oeuvre, cocktails, and a special dessert reception. This is always a fun event and we hope you will be there.
