2025 Annual Luncheon

HONOREES

River Oaks Garden Club and The Garden Club of Houston

This year, the Garden honors two of our city’s premier garden clubs for inspiring leadership, cultivation, and stewardship of our urban oasis and living museum, which offers everyday moments of wonder, educates visitors of all ages, and connects people with nature and each other. 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, you experience the generosity and vision of the many volunteers who have donated their time, ideas, and hard work in building a botanic garden for our city.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

We are pleased to announce this year’s keynote speaker will be top event designer and author Rebecca Gardner, founder and creative director of Houses & Parties. With inspiration from her soon-to-be-released book, A Screaming Blast!, Rebecca will explore using beloved garden and outdoor spaces to create cherished memories. She has been named a top event designer by VOGUE and Harper’s Bazaar, and her work has been published in The Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, The New York Times, T Magazine, Elle Decor, Town & Country, and The Financial Times.

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