Splendor Under Glass 2012
November 17, 2012 - 6:30 p.m.

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden’s Splendor Under Glass fundraiser is an invitation-only, black tie gala staged in the dramatic and spectacular glass Conservatory. The theme for 2012 is An Enchanted Evening under the Cherry Blossoms !

On November 17, 2012 we will come together for a memorable evening filled with festivities including an elegant dinner, entertainment, and a special preview of GardenFest of Lights 2012. The Garden is also hosting an online auction in connection with the Splendor Under Glass gala.. Auction prizes celebrate life’s pleasures and range from gift certificates and gardening tools to once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

The Gala serves as one of the Garden’s main source of income, and proceeds from the Gala and auction support the Garden’s mission to enlighten, inspire and educate the community allowing the Garden to grow special outreach programs and projects. Through educational programs for disadvantaged youth, donated produce for the Central Virginia Foodbank and our role as a consultant for special community gardens and park resources, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden impacts the growth of not only plants, but our community as well. Gala guest will have the added opportunity to "Fill the Pot" by directly supporting the Children's Garden.

The Garden’s first Splendor Under Glass was held in March 2003, celebrating the grand opening of the Conservatory and was highlighted in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Virginia Magazine and Richmond Magazine. With such a beautiful setting, the Gala continues to be a premiere Richmond event year after year.
