This Saturday, October 1, we will be hosting the Feast of the Good Samaritan in the garden.
Each and every one of you is invited to come, celebrate the third season of the garden, and feast from the bounty of our delicious local foods. Volunteer chefs will be cooking in the garden all day. We will be roasting a lamb on a solar-powered rotisserie and creating dishes from fresh veggies right there.
Can You Bring Something?
Yes, you can. We would like to invite any of our gardeners to bring any veggies you might have left fresh from your garden beds. You can bring them to the outdoor kitchen after 10AM in the garden. If you would like to bring them earlier, just drop us an email and we will make arrangements to pick them up. (socialsolutionsmke@gmail.com)
You Are The Honored Guests
This dinner is a fundraiser, but you and all our neighbors are invited as guests. We have spent this month asking our neighbors to sponsor tables and chairs for our guests, so all our gardeners can come for free. This concept has met with a lot of success and we are raising a significant amount of money for our garden next year.
More important, though, is to communicate the idea that we have an abundant amount. Many of our gardeners have had trouble with losing vegetables this summer. We have had some good suggestions about how to address that issue.
This winter we will be working with a high school shop class to construct some signs that we will install next spring. We will also be adding some garden beds along our sidewalks that will be cared for by next year’s garden interns. These beds will be marked as “public beds” with food to be taken by anyone, with the request to leave the beds in the circles for the gardeners who care for them.
But this fall, it’s important to remember that there is enough for everyone. So let’s have a feast.
Please come! It would help if you could RSVP as soon as possible so we know who will be there. Just drop an email to socialsolutionsmke@gmail.com and let us know if you will be attending.
See you in the garden!
