G&G Sporting Issue Launch Party

On Wednesday, September 18, Garden & Gun hosted a cocktail party at Charleston’s new Orvis store in celebration of the 2019 Sporting Issue. Guests enjoyed  Blade and Bow cocktails, light bites, live music, and exclusive access to the brand’s fall collection. A portion of the evening’s sales were donated to the Everglades Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to leading efforts to restore and protect the Florida Everglades ecosystem—a cause also highlighted in the October/November issue of G&G.
