Join Sherman Library & Gardens for a Magical Evening Under the Stars!

The 2nd Annual Botanical Ball promises to be the “party of the season.” Set against the stunning backdrop of Orange County’s most beautiful and iconic venue…at Sherman Library & Gardens…the Botanical Ball will sweep you off your feet with a little stardust and delight your senses.

Your evening will be magical!

6:00 p.m.            Champagne and signature cocktails, heavy appetizers by our new restaurateur, and garden strolls
7:30 p.m.            Live auction…we only bring the most unique opportunities to you
8:30 p.m.            DJ and dancing under the stars
10:00 p.m.         Event concludes and you take home the glow of the magical night

Sponsors will enjoy the exclusive botanically inspired open-air rooms and lounges to mingle with their guests, complete with dedicated table staff: these spaces sold out last year, so reserve early! Enjoy sumptuous light bites, aromatic cocktails, and as the night falls, we will hold a face-paced live auction, then dancing under the star lit sky.

Sherman Library & Gardens has been delivering exceptional programs and experiences to the community for 60 years. Your support at the Botanical Ball will help us expand those offerings for children and families, enhance our library and art collection, and bring beauty and wonder to our botanical gardens.
