Drinking and gardening go well together, don’t you think? In the summer Jon and I like to pop open a few beers and drink them while we’re harvesting. And I often start my day by grabbing a mug of tea and wandering through my beds. So I was pretty excited when I found out that Seattle Tilth’s fall fundraiser Taste! Toast! Twirl! is a drink tasting extravaganza.

What is Seattle Tilth, you ask?

Seattle Tilth is pretty much the coolest organization ever. Tilth’s staff can teach you how to garden organically, grow your own food, raise chickens in the city, compost, start a worm farm, prune fruit trees, grow greens in containers, and press your own apple cider. They teach kids the concept of peace through gardening, plus all about bugs, soil, and good food. And they have the best Edible Plant Sale on the planet (really!).

How can I support such an awesome non-profit?

You can donate online. Or, if you live in the Seattle-area you can join me at the fundraiser on November 12. It’s being held at Herban Feast SODO—an awesome event space with soaring ceilings, huge exposed beams, vintage lighting and hundreds of square feet of windows. There will be tons of local food to nibble on, tastings of local and organic beer, wine, cider, and soda, live music by The Tallboys and Trio A Propos, and lots of gardeners to mingle with.  What’s not to like?
