First Bloom 2010

Posted on 13. Jan, 2010 by TEA Fund in news

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at Noon

You are invited to the second annual First Bloom luncheon and garden stroll at the Dallas Arboretum to benefit the Texas Equal Access (TEA) Fund and honor Gretchen Dyer.

Gretchen Dyer, beloved founder and late Executive Director of the TEA Fund.

This year’s luncheon will honor Gretchen Dyer, the TEA Fund’s founder and former Executive Director, who passed away last June. Proceeds will benefit the TEA Fund. The luncheon will begin at noon in the magnificently restored Camp House at the Dallas Arboretum, overlooking White Rock Lake. Tickets are $65 and include a delicious lunch, admission to the gardens, and reserved parking; you can help even more by being a “Friend” for $100. New this year is the option of a 90-minute guided tour for just $10 more.

The Arboretum’s Dallas Blooms 2010 will be the most dazzling display of floral color in the Southwest with over 500,000 tulips, daffodils and other spectacular flowers. Come stroll through a fairytale setting of dogwoods, cherry trees and azaleas; marvel at the spectacular 12-foot Ferdinand the Bull topiary and the main feature for this year’s festival, “ Fiesta de las Flores”; and tour the impressive DeGolyer Mansion.
