Get Groovy, Get Dirty was the 1960s theme of the 9th Annual Root Ball, presented by The Late Bloomers Garden Club, and sponsored by Greenscape of Jacksonville. Held Feb. 19 at WJCT Studios, over 250 guests arrived garbed in their hippy best to support peace, love and trees, dancing the night away with the Twist, the Bump, the Shag and the Mashed Potato.

“Once again, the Late Bloomers Garden Club outdid themselves. No detail was spared in taking guests back in time to the era that they dubbed Peace, Love and Trees,” said Anna Dooley, Greenscape executive director. “Producing the 9th Annual Root Ball to benefit Greenscape of Jacksonville is a great gift to all of Jacksonville. The funds raised are devoted to Greenscape’s mission to plant, protect and promote trees in our great city.”
