Flavors of the Garden

Let’s celebrate the season together! Whether you're a community gardener or a member of our Urban Ag volunteer team, you've participated in one of our Urban Ag programs, you work for one of our partner organizations, or you support our Urban Ag program as a donor or board member, you're invited to join us. Every year, our green-thumb community gathers to feast on our garden-grown harvests. Gardeners bring homemade dishes crafted from crops they’ve nurtured, turning seasonal produce into a communal, farm-to-table experience right here at the CGC. Held in lush Hauck Botanical Garden, we come together to relax with fellow food growers, exchange smiles, share garden stories—and enjoy the true centerpiece of the party...the potluck spread! Every dish highlights the season's peak yields. From vibrant ruby-red gazpacho made from vine-ripened beefsteak tomatoes to zucchini ribbons tossed with pesto made from garden-fresh basil to rustic strawberry-rhubarb tart, every dish is creative and delicious. But though the selection is stand-out, this gathering isn't just about the tasty bites. It’s a party that thrives on community exchange—and as a part of our Urban Agriculture community, you’re invited! The details: Weather permitting, this event will be held outdoors. You're welcome and encouraged (but not required) to bring a seasonal dish to share along with any required serving utensils. We'll provide basic beverages as well as plates, cups, utensils, and napkins. There may or may not be a raffle and other fun!
