More than 500 tree-loving Houstonians celebrated at the Trees for Houston Root Ball, A Night Under the Southern Oaks. Guests celebrated Trees for Houston’s recent accomplishments, including doubling its annual tree planting and distributions to 50,000 trees. Southern chic was the dress for the night, and guests enjoyed fried chicken, fresh redfish, mac and cheese, and biscuits. A signature cocktail, the Treeline, was created by event co-chair chair Chris Watt, featuring Sazerac rye. Other co-chairs included Susannah Watt and Ginnie and Tim McConn. Whiskey enthusiasts participated in the whiskey pull that included rare and high-end labels like Eagles Rare bourbon and Garrison Brothers. After dinner, guests enjoyed jazz tunes from Infinite Groove Band.
