University of Tennessee Gardens - Fundraising Event: AGUAMAR 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

The Secret Garden Parties are community fundraisers held in support of the University of Tennessee Gardens. In 2008, the Silver Anniversary of the Gardens, 12 private gardens will be open to the public for the benefit of the UT Gardens.
AGUAMAR This magnificent property in South Knoxville was on the Secret Garden Tour in 2001, but if you haven’t seen it in a few years, there are many new gardens, plantings and features to explore. You will want to join the many garden publications and television shows that have recently beat a path to this spectacular garden. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served on the patio overlooking this expansive landscape. Please wear comfortable shoes to safely walk the many steps and terraces. Hosts: Tom Boyd and Sandi Burdick The 2008 series of Secret Garden Parties are held at gardens that have never been open to visitors for our benefit before. All garden parties are fund-raising events and proceeds go directly to the University of Tennessee Gardens. All costs of events are borne by the hosts and sponsors, without whom these events would not be possible. Reservations can be made by sending the order form by mail with check or by Pay Pal online at www.friendsoftheutgardens.org. Tickets are strictly limited in number. All tickets must be purchased in advance. $50 per person. Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis and are not confirmed until payment is received. To safeguard the privacy of our hosts, only general locations of parties are mentioned in event descriptions. Written confirmation including tickets and driving directions will be sent to the person who makes the reservation. Out of respect for the generosity and commitments of our hosts, there can be no refunds. In case of inclement weather, the final decision on holding or postponing the party will be that of the hosts. Up-to-the-minute information on the status of a party can be obtained by calling 865-525-4555. If an event is postponed, the hosts will notify all guests and announce the new date for the event.
