The 47th Annual Members Celebration was held at Birmingham Botanical Gardens on Thursday, January 19. Over 200 people attended the sold-out event, formerly known as the Annual Member Dinner. Catering was provided by Kathy G., whose newly renovated The Gardens Cafe is expected to open on February 1. Magic City Harvest Executive Director Paulette Van Matre spoke to the group in the Linn-Henley Lecture Hall about her organization’s long relationship with The Gardens. Each year, The Gardens donates more than 3,000 pounds of food from the Bruno Vegetable Garden to help feed Birmingham’s hungriest.
