It’s that special time of year again, where we not only honor our mothers on Mother’s Day (Sunday May 9th), but where we team up with the Red Cross of Central Alabama to put on the annual “Taste of the Gardens”!  Join us tonight at the Vaughn Rd store location from 5-8pm and enjoy an evening filled with wine, tasty treats from Montgomery’s finest restaurants & caterers, bid on our silent auction items - all while benefiting the Red Cross! 

Tickets are $15 per guest and are available at:

Both Southern Homes & Gardens store locations

American Red Cross

You might be wondering with all of these natural disasters happening recently (floods, tornados & earthquakes) how in the world you can help those in need, or how you can make a difference.  By attending “Taste of the Gardens”, all proceeds from ticket sales & the silent auction go directly to the Red Cross - and directly into those in need.  It’s devastating enough to watch disasters on the news, but worse if it was happening to you & your family.  Knowing the Red Cross is here & ready to aid with disasters can certainly be relief mentally & physically. 

Did You Know…

The American Red Cross helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Last year, almost a million volunteers and 35,000 employees helped victims of almost 75,000 disasters; taught lifesaving skills to millions; and helped U.S. service members separated from their families stay connected.  Almost 4 million people gave blood through the Red Cross, the largest U.S. supplier of blood and blood products.  The American Red Cross is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.  An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs.  The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money, and blood to do its work.
