Last Friday, October 6, the Garden hosted its annual Farm to Table Dinner event where Garden Circle Members were able to mix and mingle with Garden leadership over cocktails, farm-fresh tastings and live music. The day began with the Trolls and Trails Artist Tour where Members of the Garden Circle Bronze level were able to get an exclusive tour of all six Trolls led by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. Later in the day, Thomas hosted a book signing to kick off the evening festivities. Garden Circle members gathered for a “Folkyfest Fireside Chat,” a lively interview-style conversation with Dambo led by Chief Operations Officer MaryLynn Mack. The evening culminated with a four-course, farm-forward dinner.
If you were unable to join us or wanted to relive the evening, look through our gallery of pictures below. If you’d like to join us for next year’s Farm to Table, make sure to become a Garden Circle Member!
