John and Mary Eads, David and Denise Baggett, and Wynne and Amy Snoots (pictured, from left) co-chaired 11th annual Houston Botanic Garden luncheon at River Oaks Country Club. The Building Branches event honored The Garden Club of Houston and River Oaks Garden Club for their efforts supporting the 132-acre Houston Botanic Garden since before its inception. Guests enjoyed a Palm Beach Country Club-inspired luncheon with festive shades of coral, pink, and light orange throughout the ballroom, and raised more than $600,000. Rebecca Gardner, founder and creative director of Houses & Parties and author of A Screaming Blast!, delivered the keynote presentation to the crowd of more than 400 garden and outdoor entertaining enthusiasts.
