Once again, Birmingham Botanical Gardens celebrates Antiques at the Garden this October
(3 – 6), an event-filled weekend where some of Birmingham’s most esteemed tastemakers are celebrated, along with the region’s most respected antique dealers. This year, they proudly present and welcome home a few of our favorite artisans including featured lecturer and architect Bobby McAlpine, as well as interior designers Jane Schwab and Cindy Smith.
In anticipation of the event, we are giving away two tickets to hear Bobby McAlpine speak as the featured lecturer on Oct. 3 as well as one copy of his best-selling book “The Home Within Us: Romantic Houses, Evocative Rooms.” The beautiful collection of 25 stunning McAlpine-designed homes proves the architect’s pursuit of graceful modern living within historical influence of design. It is a rich addition to every home library.
To enter the giveaway, “Like” us on Facebook and share the giveaway photo. Be sure to choose “public” on your share option so that you’ll be entered into the contest without a hitch. The winner will be announced Friday, Sept. 20, at 9 a.m. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Bobby and have your (winning!) copy signed. Good luck!
