goeb_tent_2012_0The 2013 Garden of Eden Ball: Circus! will take place Sept. 28, 6:30 p.m., at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

Co-chaired by Ginger Dixon Molloy and Susan Been, the annual event will  honor Mary Wayne Dixon, Molloy’s mother, for 25 years of leadership, inspiration, and volunteer service for the Ball.

The “three-ring” extravaganza begins with circus performers in Howell Fountain Plaza as guests enjoy cocktails and carnival-themed hors d’oeuvres. Next, they will move to the Big Top Tent on the Great Lawn for a three-course seated dinner. The final ring will feature live performances of music and dancing.

As the Garden’s major fund-raising event, the ball supports Garden operations, critical amphibian and native plant conservation, and educational programming for Atlanta’s school children.
