The JC Raulston Arboretum is thrilled to announce a special fundraising event in honor of Tony Avent, renowned plantsman and owner of Plant Delights Nursery at the Juniper Level Botanic Garden. The Royal Horticultural Society recently awarded Avent the prestigious Veitch Memorial Medal.

Join us for a special celebration honoring Avent, recognizing his remarkable contributions to horticulture and his dedication to plant conservation. The evening will feature cocktails in the garden, a delicious plated dinner, a live auction and some good-natured fun all in honor of Avent. We have even invited fellow Veitch Memorial Medal awardee Dan Hinkley to join us.
