Rhapsody in Bloom
Puttin' on the Ritz
June 16, 2012
5 - 10 pm
We're "Puttin' on the Ritz" at Rhapsody in Bloom on Saturday, June 16! Guests will party the night away 1920s style at Olbrich’s premier garden gala. The evening begins with scrumptious butlered hors d’oeuvres and refreshing cocktails in the Gardens. Take a stroll through the beautiful gardens; a roaming beverage cart will ensure refreshments are always available. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. by Circolo Catering’s professional wait staff under an elegant white tent on the Great Lawn.
A silent plant auction will deliver the adventure of bidding on amazing items for your garden. This year’s auction will also showcase new garden related items, along with exotic and unusual plants, and container gardens designed by Olbrich's horticulture staff.
