Huntsville Botanical Garden

<h4>Presented by Twickenham Advisors</h4>
Celebrate the season at Huntsville Botanical Garden’s 12th Annual Spring Hat Luncheon — an inspiring afternoon of floral beauty, garden style, and meaningful support.
Guests will gather in their most beautifully adorned fascinators and spring hats, showcasing garden party chic fashion amid the vibrant blooms of the Garden. A delightful lunch curated by Purveyor sets the stage for a special presentation by floral artist and author Christin Geall. Her celebrated books, Cultivated: The Elements of Floral Style and Flora Culture, explore the principles of floral design, elevating the craft to a true fine art. A book signing will follow her presentation.
Clear your afternoon to linger and savor the experience. Additional wine will be available for purchase at your table, and we invite you to take a stroll through the Garden in spring splendor once the program concludes.
Most importantly, this cherished spring event directly benefits Huntsville Botanical Garden. Proceeds from the luncheon support the Garden’s mission to cultivate education, plant science, conservation, and community enrichment. Your attendance and generosity help sustain the Garden’s programs, expand its impact, and ensure it continues to grow and inspire for generations to come.
