The Huntsville Botanical Garden hosted a Garden Soirée on September 14. The event served as a fundraiser to support the mission work of the Garden. Around 300 guests enjoyed fare from Grille on Main and entertainment by Brad & Clint. Flowers and décor were arranged by Shindigs & Such.

Making the event possible were sponsors Redstone Federal Credit Union, Loewen Windows, Alabama Colon & Gastro, and Progress Bank.

“The inaugural year of the Garden Soirée was an enchanting evening of philanthropy to support the Huntsville Botanical Garden. The outdoor event featured musical entertainment, a silent auction, heavy hors d’oeuvres by James Boyce, and exclusive access for guests to enjoy the Garden’s summer experience, Night Blooms. It was a night of natural elegance under the stars, all benefiting the mission of the Garden, and we are looking forward to another year of the Garden Soirée in 2022!” said Annette Alexander, Vice President of Advancement. n
