The Birmingham Botanical Gardens hosted their first Cocktails in the Gardens mixer Thursday night in the Hill Garden. The “see-and-be-seen” (the Gardens’ words) event featured hors d’oeuvres and drinks catered by A Social Affair.

The after hours events are an effort to raise awareness among young professionals about membership and other opportunities at the gardens. There are two more this year on October 23 and  November 13.  Their website provides additional information about the series.
