Please join GardenShare this summer as we celebrate local food and grow together as a community for our annual summer dinner series!
Each event will have a unique feel and feature different aspects of our beautiful community. They will all be a showcase of delicious, local foods and beverages while also giving the community an opportunity to come together in support of GardenShare’s mission to combat food insecurity.
As we are finalizing details for each celebration, information will be added here so check back often!
