The Veggie Mobile -- a mobile greenmarket -- is one of the many programs run by CDCG.
Capital District Community Gardens' annual Autumn Evening in the Garden benefit is coming up next Thursday (September 20). From the blurbage:
The fundraiser features culinary samples, created from fresh, seasonal ingredients donated by 20 local farmers and prepared by 14 of the region's most talented chefs. The event also features live music provided by The Neil Brown Jazz Quartet and an open bar supplied by local beverage purveyors, including The Altamont Vineyard and Winery, Chatham Brewery, Harvest Spirits and The Albany Distilling Company.
