Garden Brunch

Monday, May 17, 2010   9:45am

Mark Lackey, chair of the 2010 Garden Brunch, invites you to Philbrook’s 4th annual Garden Brunch, “Community Table.” Celebrate spring with new ideas for incorporating vegetable and fruit plantings into your flower garden. Deborah Madison, author of "What We Eat When We Eat Alone", will share her insights on sustainability and using locally grown foods. Philbrook’s Garden Manager Melinda McMillan is creating a vegetable garden that rivals the floral gardens for its beauty while benefitting the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. For your dining pleasure, the morning will culminate in a luncheon prepared with the amazing foods and wines from local farms and vineyards. 

$125 per person. Includes meal, lecture, and a copy of Deborah Madison's book, What We Eat When We Eat Alone.

For reservations, contact Jennifer McCall, Development Specialist at 918-748-5361 or jmccall@philbrook.org
