The historic Country Club was transformed into an enchanting garden setting for an elegant evening of dinner, cocktails, music, and floral artistry. A highlight of the evening was the fabulous runway presentation by internationally acclaimed fashion designer Julian Chang, whose stunning designs brought glamour, color, and sophisticated style to the celebration.

Most importantly, Nightfall in the Garden raised $52,000 to support the Coral Gables Garden Club’s new microforest on Country Club Prado, a collaborative project with the City of Coral Gables. The microforest will introduce a diverse collection of native trees and plants to create valuable habitat, enhance biodiversity, support pollinators and wildlife, and provide a lasting environmental legacy for the community.

Founded in 1925, the Coral Gables Garden Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with more than a century of service to the community. Through civic beautification, environmental conservation, habitat restoration, pollinator gardens, garden therapy, and educational initiatives, the Club continues its longstanding mission of preserving and enhancing the natural beauty of Coral Gables.

The tremendous success of Nightfall in the Garden was made possible by the generosity of our sponsors, supporters, members, volunteers, and more than 300 guests who joined us for this extraordinary evening. What a wonderful way to celebrate 101 years of the Coral Gables Garden Club—while planting the seeds for the next century of conservation and community service.
