Right from theparty’s start, laughter filled the backyard. The sun peeked out from behind the clouds – as though curious about what all the celebration was for. Aromas of fresh-baked pizza drew guests towards the wood-fired oven, and acoustic music emanated through the crowdand over the fence.

Younger guests delighted at the chance to pick outtheir very own seeds and plant them in small containers that they took with them. Adults had a great time tasting local beers, catching up with friends, and learning about how to make this gardening season their best one yet.

It was a beautiful day to be outside, and everyone who stopped by walked away smiling – many of them, arms laden with plant seedlings to brighten their gardens at home.
