Garden
of Eden Ball
One of Atlanta’s most anticipated social events, the Garden of Eden Ball will take place on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at 6:30 p.m.
About the Ball and Host Committee
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.
Participation in the Garden of Eden Ball Host Committee is by invitation only. The Ball Chairs and Garden staff extend invitations to selected individuals and couples to join the Host Committee, an exclusive group lending their name more prominently in support of the Ball.
Host Committee members are encouraged to attend and receive the associated benefits listed below. Host Committee members are asked to support the Ball with a gift of $3,000 (which is a giving level only open to Host Committee members), but may also support with a gift at a higher level for increased benefits should they so choose. Once an invitation is extended to join and is accepted, the Garden staff will follow up with a letter for confirmation.
