The day before St. Pat's we're putting on our triple green -- eco, spring, and Irish -- to go back to the garden for what has become our yearly spring event! After a dreary winter it will be wonderful to be surrounded by flowers and to get our sustainable gardening wits about us again! And what a great prelude to the wearin' of the Irish green the next day.

 

Our event will be held right in the middle of Homestead's 2011 Garden Show, Mediterranean Retreat, that runs from March 12-20. The show features many special seminars and guest speakers. Click to learn more.

Our event has been put together with the assistance of one of our email sponsors, Sharon New of Local Food Beat. Thank you, Sharon!

 

Since we're not at a restaurant this time, it would be a great help if you'd be very green and bring your own glass if you can! Thanks.

 

Don't forget information about your upcoming events or other news and bring your own name tag if you have one.

 

See you tomorrow!

Upcoming Consults with Local Food Beat

Specials for Green Drinkers

 

Sharon New, owner and creator of Local Food Beat, is offering a choice of two consultations for Green Drink members at greatly reduced price.  

 

The first option is a Pantry Raid: Sharon will go through your pantry and recommend the healthful oils and other foods to begin cooking with and why. She will also share with you where to find local sources of nutrient dense foods and grass-fed products including a review of the benefits of Omega 3s and which foods can help reduce inflammation. This is normally a $175 value for 3 hours, but for Green Drinkers is only $100.   

 

The second option is a Whole Foods Tour: Join Sharon as she takes you on a highly informative tour of the Annapolis Whole Foods store. She'll show you what she buys and why, what not to buy, how to read labels, a review of the supplement aisle, how to find grass-fed products (dairy and beef), and give you many useful tips that you can apply wherever you shop. This is normally $55 for 90 minutes, but for Green Drinkers is only $35.  Limited to 5 and it is scheduled for Saturday, April 2 at 10 a.m.

 

Please email [email protected] if you would like to sign up for either consult.
