Gala in the Garden

• Sunday, May 6, 2001 – 3:00 pm–6:00 pm

The gala has become the first rite of spring for many in the Triangle community and is the largest fund raiser for the Arboretum. This is a time to visit with old friends and meet new ones, enjoy food and beverage among the beauties of the JCRA gardens, and participate in the silent and live auctions. Items ranging from trips to jewelry to artwork to plants are donated for your bidding pleasure. Contact Donna Walker for an invitation.
