Over 300 people attended the soriee as they strolled through the newly-renovated Botanical Gardens to sample delicious food and drink, liquor, wine, beer, and champagne from over 20 restaurants and renowned chefs. The fabulous silent auction include amazing items and one lucky winner went home with a 5 -day cruise from the raffle. The attendees were treated with the excitement of watching well known artist, David Bengas, paint on site as well as John Saxx with his roaming saxophone playing. Special thanks goes to our emcee for the evening, Jennifer Reeves from NBC 6. We thank everyone who attended! It was night to remember and we look forward to next year’s “Taste of the Garden” event on January 30, 2014.
