Green Drinks will be held right in the middle of A Feast of Color, Homestead Garden's Annual Spring Flower Show

 
 

We're bringing our "fun side of eco-awareness... making serious connections" to Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville to celebrate spring during the garden's annual flower show. This will be 8th spring Green Drinks at Homestead!

In order to bring you this terrific event, which includes fabulous food from Herrington on the Bay, we're asking for a donation of $15 at the door. This includes one drink ticket, the generous appetizer buffet, and a discount coupon from Homestead, good for shopping that night! 

 

Delicious complimentary appetizers will once again be provided by Herrington on the Bay, Maryland's only Eco-Lifestyle Event Design and Catering Service. This is the 8th year we have been blessed to have Herrington with us at Homestead. Every year, everyone raves about the fabulous food at the Green Drinks at Homestead. This year Chef Mike will serve up Amall Plates ... Vegan, Vegetarian, and Low Sugar options -- all Fork to Table. And don't forget the crowd-pleaser desserts! We owe a huge thank you to Anna Chaney and her terrific staff. Read about Herrington's Eco-Lifestyle philosophy.

She has some amazing things going on from the incredibly Green Herrington on the Bay site to the James Deale Permaculture stie of Tiny Houses she has under development, to her Honey's Harvest Farm that hosts community based gatherings.
