Root Ball returns for Derby Day
Frosty mint juleps flavored Greenscape of Jacksonville’s 16th annual Root Ball fundraiser on May 6, aptly named “Ante Up for Derby Day” for its Kentucky Derby-themed watch party, complete with casino games, hat and bowtie contests and silent auction. Funds raised will assist in providing education, advocacy and tree-planting here in the River City.
“We had record attendance this year and it was such a fun crowd,” said Lisa Grubba, Greenscape’s executive director. “We’re so grateful to our supporters, many of whom have been with us since our founding in 1975.”
The event was co-hosted by Late Bloomers Garden Club. Club members Debbie Early and Sally Ragsdale, along with Greenscape board member Tiffany Davis co-chaired while Ann Hicks served as Honorary Chair.
Greenscape of Jacksonville is one of the nation’s longest-running tree groups, serving Jacksonville for 48 years.
