It’s a magical evening “under glass” as the Conservatory presents its annual gala supporting the important, ongoing preservation of this historic Victorian greenhouse in Golden Gate Park.
The evening is a rare chance to experience the enchantment of this lovely San Francisco landmark at night and includes dancing to the live sounds of the Dick Bright Orchestra and other special entertainment. Guests will also be the first to see the new exhibition Stranded! Tropical Island Survival. Strolling through a living jungle of majestic palms and lush green vines, guests see fascinating examples of how tropical plants can be used for survival.
No one, however, will need to be able to fashion a snare from a vine in order to eat and drink well at this festive event. Guests will sip botanical cocktails and feast on exquisite morsels, and are invited to place bids on unique vacation packages, art, wine, jewelry and more. Elegant cocktail attire encouraged.
This year’s Gala Committee is chaired by Martha Woollomes, with Honorary Chair Diane B. Wilsey. Media sponsor is San Francisco Cottages and Gardens. All proceeds benefit the Conservatory of Flowers’ youth education program, historic greenhouse preservation, plant maintenance and rare plant acquisitions.
