The early fall grounds of the Chicago Botanic Garden set the tone for its annual gala, which raised $375,000, going directly toward the North Shore landmark’s new Children’s Learning Garden, designed by landscape architect Mikyoung Kim. The black-tie garden party feature dinner under a tented pavilion, luxury auction items, and dancing to The Chicago Players. chicagobotanic.org
