Pencil This In: Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse's "An Evening At The Garden"

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Aug 6, 2012 4:20PM

The Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse is a shining beacon on the Northwest side that teaches residents around the park sustainable gardening and healthy eating practices through garden-based educational programs.

From 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9 KPOG is hosting its first fundraiser, Evening at the Garden, featuring passed appetizers made from fresh ingredients directly grown from the garden and prepared by chef Jeff Adamek and pastry chef Jennifer Templeton, served with local beer and wine, live music and a silent auction. Funds raised from the event will go toward developing KPOG's Nature's Playground (an interactive play space within the garden) and to help improve the greenhouse's infrastructure starting with installing exhaust fans. Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets and cost $40.

If you have an event for inclusion in "Pencil This In," please contact Tankboy (for A&E-related listings), Anthony (for tastings, dinners and food and drink-related events) or tips[at]chicagoist[dot]com.
