Atlanta Botanical Garden's 2013 Garden of Eden Ball: CIRCUS! Set for Tonight

Ladies and gentlemen! Announcing the one, the only, 2013 Garden of Eden Ball: Circus! In town for one spectacular night only tonight, September 28.

Co-chaired by Ginger Dixon Molloy and Susan Been, the annual event will be a sparkling and unforgettable evening as the Garden honors Mary Wayne Dixon, Molloy's mother, for 25 years of leadership, inspiration, and volunteer service for the Ball.

The "three-ring" extravaganza begins with electrifying circus performers in Howell Fountain Plaza as guests enjoy cocktails and carnival-themed hors d'oeuvres. Next, they will move to the Big Top Tent on the Great Lawn for a stellar three-course seated dinner. The final ring will feature live performances of upbeat and irresistible music sure to draw all guests out on the dance floor.

Patron tickets, at $1,500 and above, are on sale, with $475 individual tickets available beginning August 1. Patron and sponsor donors are invited to the exclusive Patron Party at Shearon and Taylor Glover's home on September 12.

As the Garden's major fund-raising event, the ball supports Garden operations, critical amphibian and native plant conservation, and educational programming for Atlanta's school children.
