2019 UT Gardens Gala

Join supporters of the UT Gardens, Knoxville, and honorary hosts Ann and Steve Bailey for the seventh annual UT Gardens Gala. Featuring Rebecca Sweet, WBIR meteorologist/reporter, and Bear Stephenson, auctioneer, this memorable evening will be filled with delicious food, creative cocktails, and one-of-a-kind auction items in support of our beautiful State Botanical Gardens.

Our theme, "Conifers & Cocktails," will celebrate Dr. Alan Soloman, noted conifer collector and avid gardener, and the many contributions he has given to the Knoxville community over the years. UT student musicians will set the mood for guests as they enjoy drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and a silent auction before transitioning to the dinner tent for a seated dinner and spirited live auction. 

All proceeds benefit the academic programs, educational outreach, and operations of the UT Gardens, Knoxville.
