From Field to Table Event at Franklin Park Conservatory




	From Field to Table Presented by the Conservatory’s Women’s Board, From Field to Table celebrates Ohio’s harvest with an event featuring local, seasonal ingredients. Proceeds from the event benefit Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens' education programs, including its community gardening program Growing to Green. On September 16, 2011, over 600 gathered on the Scotts Miracle-Gro Community Garden Campus, to enjoy garden-inspired appetizers and cocktails amidst colorful and fragrant gardens. At the sound of the dinner bell, guests strolled through the park to arrive at the Conservatory’s Grand Mallway. As the sun set, James Turrell’s installation, Light Raiment II, illuminated the John F. Wolfe Palm House, setting the stage for a beautiful evening and dinner under the stars. Proceeds from this year’s event are expected to top $225,000. Dinner was presented by area farmers, gardeners and artisan producers and creatively prepared by central Ohio’s leading chefs, including: Asa Rodriquez, The Columbus Club Angela Petro, Two Caterers, Inc.
