Today’s 11th Annual Garden Gala has proven to be a very popular event. The event is hosted at Dyer-Hudson Hall by the Knoxville Federated Garden Club. President Mary Dee Dykstra says that gardeners from across the state make the trip annually to Knoxville to hear speakers and visit with the vendors. Dykstra says as the main fundraiser for the Garden Club, the Gala helps support all the work they do at the Bessie Spaur Butterfly Garden. The event runs from 8:30-3:30 Saturday.
