Each summer, Highlands comes alive with the energy of celebration and community, and no gathering captures that spirit quite like the Highlands Biological Foundation’s annual Soirée. Mark your calendar for the season’s most anticipated event: the Twilight in the Garden Soirée, taking place Monday, July 28, from 6:00 PM until dark.
This elegant affair is the Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser, supporting its mission to foster biological research and education in the unique and biodiverse Southern Appalachian region. By attending, guests not only enjoy a magical evening but also help advance environmental stewardship, discovery, and education throughout the Plateau.
This year’s Soirée will unfold in the enchanting garden of Lori and Ed Heys’ Highlands home, a property renowned for its vibrant summer blooms, particularly its breathtaking collection of dahlias. As twilight settles over the mountains, guests will be treated to an unforgettable evening of fine food, curated drinks, live music, and warm camaraderie, all set against a backdrop of swaying blooms and mountain skies.
Join us for this special event, and experience an evening of inspiration, community, and conservation. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to our mission, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow nature enthusiasts and learn more about how your support makes a lasting impact on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. All proceeds benefit the educational and conservation programs of the Highlands Biological Foundation.
