The Women’s Council of the Dallas Arboretum revealed the location for its invitation-only “Meet the Authors” reception for Sponsors and Patrons of 12th Annual “A Writer’s Garden” Literary Symposium and Luncheon – A Passion for Gardens.
In attendance will be the distinguished authors for the 2018 program: Carolyne Roehm, internationally recognized style icon and gardener extraordinaire; and Colta Ives, renowned art historian and landscape designer.
The intimate evening with the symposium speakers is planned for Nov. 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Highland Park mansion of acclaimed interior designer Betty Lou Phillips. The party in the beautifully decorated home on St. Johns will be an unforgettable evening for attendees. It was named one of the ten most beautiful homes in Dallas by D Magazine in 2010.
“A Woman’s Garden is one of the most beautiful places in Dallas. As an author myself, it is a great pleasure to open my home for this very special evening with Carolyne and Colta for the patrons and sponsors of this event,” said Betty Lou Phillips.
