One Enchanted Evening 2022

Mobile Botanical Gardens
presents
Through the Looking Glass:
Envisioning the Future
April 7, 2022 at 7pm

Not only will this 2022 event raise awareness of the beauty of the Gardens, it will celebrate the bright future MBG now has due to financial stability realized through City operational support combined with the creation of an endowment fund.

The proceeds of “One Enchanted Evening” will go directly toward enhancing the value of the Gardens’ collections and furthering our educational mission.

Our 2022 “One Enchanted Evening” will be even more captivating with the celebration of the Gardens reaching 50 years since a small group of horticulturists proposed the idea of preserving the acreage for a botanical garden. Beautiful music and joy will fill the air as guests enjoy food and libations while strolling the beautiful grounds.

What's on the menu?
