Nearly 500 guests filled the Hill Garden at Birmingham Botanical Gardens Aug. 12 for the launch of the 2011 season of Cocktails in The Gardens. FisherGreen, a new band started by local musicians Chad Fisher and Heath Green, entertained the audience with originals and classic rock covers. Occasions by Wynfrey catered the event, themed “It’s All About The Green,” with complementary hors d’oeuvres as well as a cash bar with signature cocktails, wine and beer. Décor by Kirsti provided decorations to match the green vibe.
The events are designed to raise awareness of The Gardens’ programs and opportunities among young professionals, students and the young at heart. The next Cocktails in The Gardens is Sept. 9 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. in the Hill Garden. The theme that night is “Down Home Delights,” with Southern rocker Hunter Lawley entertaining the crowd and Spiked Lemonade as the signature cocktail. The final event is slated for Oct. 14 with Bonus Round performing at the “Autumn Harvest Feastival.” Tickets are $15, but members of The Gardens get in free.
