HONOREE

Johnny Steele

This year it is the Garden’s great pleasure to honor our community’s premiere landscape architect, Johnny Steele, for his contributions to the Houston Botanic Garden and for his lasting impact on our city’s green spaces. Like the Garden itself, Johnny’s work extends far beyond the surface, connecting people, educating about botanical diversity, and generating enthusiasm around landscape design.

Whether you visit the Garden to admire its botanic beauty, see an exhibition, attend a festival, take classes, enjoy the walking trails, or just relax in a majestic natural setting, the Garden offers something for every member of our community. The luncheon provides an opportunity to reflect upon the generosity of all who have contributed to its realization, while fostering excitement for current programming and future development.

If you cannot attend this year, please consider making a financial contribution. Your support of Houston’s Garden ensures its ability to enrich lives today, and for generations to come.

EXCLUSIVE MEDIA SPONSOR

Please mark your calendars now so you can join us at the annual luncheon and be part of the Garden’s largest fundraising event.
