|
In 2008, Rhapsody in Bloom will honor Olbrich's special connection with the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the UW Alumni Association - Thai Chapter. UW Chancellor John Wiley and Georgia Wiley will be Honorary Co-Chairs, and authentic Thai entertainment and hors d' oeuvres will be featured in Olbrich's Thai Pavilion and Garden. The evening begins at 5 p.m. with hors d' oeuvres in the Sunken and Herb Gardens. At 6:30 p.m., guests can enjoy a Thai Seafood Hot Pot in the Thai Pavilion, while being entertained by Thai performers. Starting at 7 p.m., dinner will be served under tents on the Great Lawn, with dessert at 9 p.m. in the Rose Garden and on the Arlette Morse Terrace. Guests will enjoy a variety of musical entertainment around the Gardens throughout the evening, as well as a plant silent auction. Lovely plants nurtured at Olbrich, and unique container designed by Olbrich's horticulturists, will go to the highest bidders! Tickets are available to members starting March 3, and the general public on April 1, and are $110 per person. Better yet, buy a table of eight for $880. Make your reservations early; tickets are limited! Call 608-246-5616 for reservations. Reservation deadline is June 13. All proceeds from this major fundraiser benefit the Gardens.
