Peachtree Hills Place Hosts Atlanta Botanical Garden's Circle Members

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Botanical Garden's Circle Members and Peachtree Hills Place members met last week at Peachtree Hills Place to celebrate the success of the past year for the Atlanta Botanical Garden, specifically for it's 2008 Garden of Eden Ball.

Peachtree Hills Place members lent their support to the Atlanta Botanical Garden through the Presenting Sponsorship of the Ball earlier this fall. Peachtree Hills Place is an upscale residential community in Buckhead for people ages 55 and older seeking a secure, independent lifestyle.

Many Peachtree Hills Place members personally support the Atlanta Botanical Garden, so the sponsorship was a natural fit. The event, for the Garden's upper level donors only, the Orchid, Magnolia and Arbor Circle members, was a cocktail party with food and beverages provided by Paul's Restaurant.

If you have any further questions or would like to speak with a representative from Peachtree Hills Place, please contact Amanda Winters at Amanda@FlammerPR.com or 770-383-3360 ext. 27.

“The residents in the Club Dr. area were really involved in the planning for this park and are really looking forward to having a special purpose neighborhood park, “ said Park Operations Director Sharon Plunkett. “It’s a great place to come and unwind with a walk in the park or bring the kids to play on the large playground or basketball courts.”

Designed by Lose & Associates, Inc. and constructed by Astra Group, Inc., the $2.6 million Club Drive Park was funded by the 2005 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST).
