Field to Table

Thank you to the more than 700 community members who gathered on August 23 to celebrate the 16th annual Field to Table fundraiser! Each year, Field to Table raises critical funds to support the Conservatory’s community outreach, education and access programs.

Thoughtfully planned by the Conservatory Women’s Board, this year’s event welcomed corporate sponsors, community leaders, Women’s Board members and guests, and partnered with dozens of regional farmers, Columbus restaurateurs, local distillers, craft brewers and more, all of whom came together in support of Conservatory programs like these:

  • Growing to Green provides free resources and capacity building for community
    gardens.
  • Teen Corps mentors low-income teens, guiding them in building life and work
    skills through urban farming.
  • Programs like Community Days remove barriers to access, making the
    Conservatory and its resources free for everyone on the first Sunday of every
    month.

Although this year’s event has passed, it’s not too late to make a donation in support of these and other programs! Your generosity empowers community gardeners, provides hands-on learning for young people, bridges gaps in food access, and ensures the Conservatory and its resources are accessible to more members of our community. Thank you!
