A Sweet Event With Alice Waters

The Homeless Garden Project’s second event of Sustain in Place: A series of at-home tastings, features a keynote video presentation from Alice Waters, a pioneer in the farm to table movement.

Guests will also have the opportunity to pick up a gift bag of New Leaf's private label Common Vines wine, bottled locally by Bargetto, delicious truffles from Mutari Chocolate and HGP's own hand-dipped beeswax candles, in a reusable tote bag.

Alice Waters, the founder of Chez Panisse, the original "California Cuisine" restaurant in Berkeley, California, is the author of eight books that promote the importance of wholesome nutrition. Alice Waters has been a leading advocate of natural and organic foods, championing the importance of locally grown and fresh ingredients. Her Edible Schoolyard program has been integrated into the entire Berkeley school system and has attracted mainstream attention across the nation. She has helped to reshape the conversation in America from corporate-controlled fast-foods back to the importance of wholesome foods as an important ingredient in creating a more peaceful, just and sustainable world. We are excited to present her keynote talk, created exclusively for this event.

Guests will be able to pick up bags from HGP's Downtown Store anytime from 12pm to 6pm on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November
14. The presentation will be online and be
premiered at 6:30pm on November 14 at a link sent exclusively to attendees.
Guests will have the chance to watch and rewatch the presentation at their
convenience any time after that.

The Sustain In Place Event series sponsors include New Leaf Community Markets, La Posta Restaurant and Mutari Chocolate. Tickets benefit the programs of the Homeless Garden Project.
