Estero Island Garden Club - Valentine's Eve Gala

The Estero Island Garden Club had its second annual fundraiser on Valentine’s Eve at Saint Raphael’s Church on Williams Drive. Well over a hundred people enjoyed wine, food, friendship and music. It was a festive evening with some dancing, botanical creations, and raffle surprises. Monies raised go to the Garden Club’s island beautification projects.


Garden Club member, Jackie, & friend, Patsy, arrive at the Church Hall. Garden designs adorn each table and are raffled off later in the evening.
