Make plans to attend “An Evening in Bloom,” the 2025 UT Gardens Gala featuring honorary hosts Donde Plowman and Dennis Duchon. Chancellor Plowman and her husband, Dr. Duchon, are thrilled to celebrate with you the impact of the UT Gardens and its role as an incredible resource for Tennesseans and beyond.

We look forward to seeing you in the UT Gardens, Knoxville, for a fun-filled evening complete with music, drinks, hors d’oeuvres, a seated dinner, and live and silent auctions to benefit the beautiful Gardens.

Individual tickets can be purchased for $250 or an eight-seat table can be purchased for $2,000. Proceeds benefit the UT Gardens' academic and educational programs.
