Gala in the Gardens
October 1, 2026
Sponsored by Jones Walker LLP and ServisFirst Bank
Save the date for the Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens’ Gala in the Gardens! Our Antiques at the Gardens weekend kicks off with this black-tie gala, an enchanting evening under the stars sponsored by Jones Walker LLP and ServisFirst Bank.
The evening kicks off at 6 p.m. with an honoree celebration. This event is separately ticketed.
Our main event begins at 7 p.m., with guests being transported into a delightful evening as they arrive through our garden entryway created by Zachary J. Westall.
Gala attendees also enjoy early shopping with our 28 celebrated antiques dealers from across the nation and beyond, offering exquisitely curated antiques, fine art, vintage and fine jewelry, silver, rugs and textiles, home decor, and garden accessories.
This very special evening has limited tickets and sells out quickly.
