We are having a PoLlinator Party!

October 15, 2022 from 1:30-2:30

Join hosts Vivienne and Elizabeth McMullen to honor Indigenous People’s Day by learning about pollinators. Mother Nature is a powerful partner in our garden.  Let’s learn to work with her. We will plant a pollinator garden to support butterflies, bees, and birds in sync with the rhythm of the seasons and wildlife migratory patterns and to understand how they all work together to generate our food.  We will harvest, taste and plant edible flowers and herbs. (Children 7-12 may attend alone and parents are encouraged to accompany their 5 & 6 year old children.)  RESERVE YOUR SPOT

Join Us For a Feast

DELICIOUS ALCHEMY BANQUET
NOVEMBER 13, 2023 at 7:00 in the evening

We have long celebrated gathering around a beautiful table for a meal among friends, the hallmark of our Delicious Alchemy Banquet, which is limited to just 80 guests. As Houston’s torrid summer melts into a beautiful autumn and the feasting season begins, there is no better place to congregate than our bucolic Hope Farms in the heart of the city.

We will gather on Monday, November 13 for our spectacular Delicious Alchemy Banquet featuring ten exquisite courses celebrating Houston’s rich culinary diversity, crafted by ten extraordinary chefs, in a glorious pastoral setting—or as the Chronicle says, “the ultimate dinner party.” We hope you will be there.
