Spring Hat Luncheon Returns to The Garden PEOPLE • PLACES • PARTIES
Photos by Steve Babin The Huntsville Botanical Garden hosted its eighth annual Spring Hat Luncheon May 5. The event was last held in 2019. “We are so excited to be bringing back the Spring Hat Luncheon this year,” said Annette Alexander, vice president of advancement at the Garden. “It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate spring while supporting the work we do here.” Proceeds from the event support the Garden’s mission to connect people to plants to create a healthier quality of life. The funds help provide educational programs, offer exciting exhibits and events, and maintain horticultural displays for all to enjoy.

“The Spring Hat Luncheon is both a philanthropic and a social event,” said Sue Wagner, chief executive officer of the Garden. “Guests are able not only to enjoy each other’s company and celebrate the return of spring, but they walk away knowing they have made a difference.” Guests donned their most festive hats and fascinators. The program featured a silent auction, a catered luncheon by Catering by Narvell and a presentation by Brie Arthur, TV personality and author of The Foodscape Revolution. The 2022 Spring Hat Luncheon was presented by Twickenham Advisors. n
