Eco-Fabulous Garden Party - 10/14/10

Going green was all the rage during the EcoFabulous Garden Party at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Sustainably-minded guests joined honorary chair Athena Sarris amidst the lush tropics of Phipps Conservatory to support the inaugural presentation of the Green Heart of Pittsburgh awards, which recognize Pittsburgh’s pioneers in sustainable efforts. Those eco-heroes, from the National Energy Technology Laboratory and Hill House Association and Partners, were the green all-stars of the evening. Guests relished in the signature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, as well as in the silent auction’s exceptional items, including a gargoyle statue, straight from the Phipps’ exhibit, Gothic Gardens in Autumn, an interior décor home installation for the holiday season, and a private dinner with a Pittsburgh sports superstar.
