The glorious grounds of Wave Hill were the setting for its spring Garden Fete, a gala held to honor board member Katie Michel. C&G was media sponsor of the event which raised funds to support restoration of the park’s iconic Pergola.
Guests gathered in the evening for an outdoor cocktail reception. Purveyors offered tastings to attendees who wandered admiring the plantings and visiting the Perkins Guest Center. A brief sprinkling of rain enlivened the scene, before the sun returned in full and guests proceeded to dinner in a tent, decorated in pale green with potted plants and lavender floral décor.
