Celebrate everything that’s fresh and local, and help make sure we have a green and vibrant future, as Toledo Botanical Garden presents the first annual Harvest Market Dinner. It’s an elegant evening in the Garden with plenty of amazing dishes prepared by 8 local chefs from sustainably-grown local produce, as well as locally crafted beers and wines. There will be live music and good fellowship, and you’ll be helping to raise money for Toledo GROWs, TBG’s initiative that supports community gardens all over the area. Mingle with other eco-minded foodies and sample desserts, cheeses and salsas from area vendors afterward during a stroll around the Garden. $75, $200 for party of four.
Thursday, Sept. 13. 6-10pm. 5403 Elmer Dr. 419-536-5566. www.toledogarden.org. —MD
