About the Ball

Honoring Carol and Ramon Tomé for their support of the Garden and chaired by Virginia Hepner and Malcolm Barnes, the Garden of Eden Ball is a not-to-be-missed gala. The evening, which begins with cocktails at sunset, features floral décor fit for a botanical garden, a grand seated dinner, and dancing overlooking the Atlanta skyline in a tented ballroom on the Great Lawn. As the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s premier fundraising event, this elegant affair attracts community, business and social leaders in support of the Garden’s mission.

For more information or to support the Garden of Eden Ball, please contact Norris Nelson at 404-591-1730 or nnelson@atlantabg.org.
