  • Monday, May 5, 2025
Brunch & Blooms fundraiser, benefiting the Native Plant Nursery and the Philp Memorial Garden at Reflection Riding, will be held this Saturday from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center.

A brunch will be served from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m., followed by a guided tour of the Philp Garden at 12:30 p.m.

Officials said, "The tour is a special opportunity to see what your support helps grow and sustain. What’s on the menu? We’re offering all kinds of delightful choices: Garden Mezze Board, Pimento Cheese Biscuit, Brunch Burritos, Savannah Shrimp Roll, and Spring Chopped Salad (with vegetarian options and delicious sides), along with fresh fruit and pastries.
Our featured cocktail is Bouquet—a dreamy blend of Chattanooga Whiskey, lavender, lemon and rose water. For dessert, we’ll have Strawberry Jam Bars, French Macarons, and Chocolate Olive Oil Cake from The Hot Chocolatier. You won’t want to miss this delicious spread.

"Casual attire is welcome, and we encourage you to bring a friend or two who loves gardens, good food and a great cause."

Tickets are available until Wednesday, May 7 here.
