The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum's Gala Garden Party blended the casualness of a garden party with the elegance of a black tie event.
After a stroll through the gardens — in full bloom — guests were treated to dinner al fresco (with menu by chef Steven Brown of Tilia and St. Genevieve in south Minneapolis), dancing and a silent auction.
Belinda Jensen of KARE-11 was the emcee for the popular annual event.
