The evening began with a stroll through the historic Lotusland gardens while enjoying delectable cocktails and hors d’oeuvres inspired by Lotus. Followed by an al fresco dinner catered by Duo Catering with spectacular wine pairings by Antica Terra. The emcee was the dynamic Jane Lynch, and auctioneer Jim Nye conducted the rousing live auction. One of the most sought-after auction items was a private Edible Schoolyard tour by the legendary chef Alice Waters, followed by dinner at her iconic restaurant, Chez Panisse.
The evening's entertainment included an art exhibit titled “Gounded Works Inspired by, Connected to, and Reclaimed from Lotusland.” Throughout the grass lawn, guests enjoyed tunes by DJ Amara, cocktails by The Lair Project, tequila tasting with Casa del Sol, cotton candy by Bon Puf, and oracle readings.
