It was a night of celebration, glitz, glamour and all that jazz on Nov. 18 at the Sarasota Garden Club. Garden club members dressed in the best 1920s outfits — an homage to the decade of the club's founding. 

They toasted to the Garden Club's 90-year history — its origins woven with those of Sarasota itself — and celebrated its many years to come.
