Nonprofit Texas Blossoms will celebrate the season with the 2023 Back In Bloom Gala, presented by EarthX, at 6 p.m., April 15, at the Nick and Lou Martin University Center at Texas Wesleyan University. Texas Blossoms plants and nurtures blossoming trees across the state, and gala attendees and sponsors provide critical funding for their expanding operations. They primarily plant trees in community spaces and underserved areas, frequently collaborating with libraries and schools.

Angela Goodwin, board president of Texas Blossoms, says, “It costs nearly $100 to purchase a tree, but the costs don’t end there. We remain committed to nurturing our trees well after they’re in the ground,” said . “We’ve already planted nearly 1,600 trees and we water every one of them regularly. It costs about $750 to water all our trees per watering route. We couldn’t protect our trees and serve the community like we do without the support of our generous donors.”

General admission tickets are $50 at TexasBlossoms.org/annual-gala with the option to make an additional donation. To become a gala sponsor, call Goodwin at 817-913-0502, email [email protected] or visit TexasBlossoms.org/gala-sponsorships.
