With a great turnout of guests and perfect spring weather the 2025 Suds & Buds party was a huge success thanks to the volunteers, sponsors, vendors and musicians who made it possible. Proceeds from the party at Norfolk Botanical Garden will benefit the garden, the Rotary Club of Norfolk and the many charities it supports, and All District Reads -- the 2025 charitable partner. Special thanks go to lead sponsor TowneBank and supporting sponsor Virginia Natural Gas as well as Rotarian Jeff Ryder who chaired this annual event that is a partnership between the Rotary Club and the botanical garden.
