San Diego Botanic Garden 11th Annual Gala in the Garden
09/11/2010 - By San Diego, CA

San Diego Botanic Garden 11th Annual Gala in the Garden

The San Diego Botanic Garden 11th Annual Gala in the Garden was held on Saturday, September 11th in San Diego, CA.

This year’s honored guest was Dr. Jodie Holt, Professor of Plant Physiology and Chair of the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at University of California, Riverside. Dr. Holt was the botanical consultant for the blockbuster film Avatar, where she shaped Sigourney Weaver’s character as a botanist and helped create and name plants for the film. We were pleased to honor her at the Gala with the Paul Ecke, Jr. Award of Excellence for her life’s work as a distinguished scientist and educator.

Much like Avatar, San Diego Botanic Garden was transformed into a wonderland of colors, lights and flora. Adding to the experience were the area’s finest eateries serving a delectable assortment of their most celebrated dishes. Guests enjoyed strolling through the Garden, exploring our different landscapes, dancing the night away to the sounds of a live band, and winning coveted prizes in our silent auction.
This year we celebrated environmental responsibility while celebrating nature and conservation. “We (at the Garden) have a history of leadership as one of the region’s most environmentally conscious organizations, and we recognize that comes with a responsibility. Waste was composted or recycled, incentives were provided for carpooling, and energy consumption was reduced. Our goal is to promote environmental stewardship through preserving the natural beauty of the garden and the larger ecosystem within which they reside, for future generations to enjoy.”

All proceeds from this year’s Gala in the Garden contribute directly to the growth of the Garden and fund essential projects, programs and exhibits.
