Soergels' 6th Annual Parade of Ponds & Garden Gala - 7/25/09

Soergel Landscapes’ gorgeous gardens attracted dozens of admirers at the company’s Garden Gala, part of the Sixth Annual Parade of Ponds weekend. The crowd flourished and enjoyed a two-day self-guided tour of about 20 Soergel-designed water gardens, as well as a Garden Gala at Soergel’s Gibsonia space. The Gala featured homemade Italian fare, dancing, and a silent auction. The event raised money for the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh — we give it two green thumbs up.
