UT Gardens will hold its annual gala that includes music, drinks, hors d’oeuvres, seated dinner and live and silent auctions. Hosted by Donna Davis and Ivan Beltz, the 2024 theme is “Swing into Spring” and will honor UT professor emeritus Mark Windham for his contributions to the UT Gardens and his internationally recognized dogwood breeding program and research on disease resistant roses. Proceeds benefit the UT Gardens' academic and educational programs.
