What a night!

The Flower Hill Fête was everything we dreamed. A garden full of friends, neighbors, and the people who make this community what it is. None of this magic would have happened without our sponsors, who showed up for Flower Hill in the biggest way.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors:

- Empire Roofing Inc.
- Pilgrim Building
- Serendipity Fund
- Natalie George Productions

And to the in-kind partners who brought the night to life:
- Monarch Event Rentals
- Chez Zee American Bistro
- Bar Peached
- Total Wine & More
- Round Rock Express
- The Natural Gardener

You didn't just sponsor an event, you helped us grow something lasting. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

This past February, Bottle Alley Theatre Company hosted a poetry reading in our restored garage at Flower Hill Center. It was a lovely evening with a full room of attentive listeners. The kind of quiet that only poignant words can bring.

Gathering the community in this space is at the heart of what Flower Hill is and what it has always been. We're grateful to continue the tradition the Smoot family began here, and to share it with neighbors and friends.

The Garage transformed into a master class when Austin Classical Guitar's youth ensemble joined French guitarist Gaelle Solal for an unforgettable afternoon. We're always honored to support these young musicians and our dear friends at ACG.
