The inaugural Autumn Gala at the Garden is the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks' signature fundraiser, and helps sustain the garden for the coming seasons. Please join us at the Garden to celebrate, or attend virtually through Facebook Live. This year, your support is more important than ever!
Our silent auction will take place here, entirely online, making it safe, convenient and easy to bid on items. The auction will open on the evening of October 21 and remain open for bidding until Friday, October 22 at 10 PM. Anyone may bid on auction items - you do not have to attend the event in order to participate in the online auction.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit the garden's mission to Learn, Play, Grow. We are a public garden dedicated to education and environmental awareness and serve as a community destination for unique nature experiences. We do not receive funding from the city, and rely solely on individual and corporate donations.
The botanical garden is a place people come to find peace, enjoyment, to learn and to connect with nature and each other. It is vital, especially right now, for us to maintain and protect green spaces for the benefit of all. Thank you for your support.
