Harvest On The Hooch Benefits Unity Garden

ROSWELL, GA -- Celebrating the garden and the plate, the Chattahoochee Nature Center welcomes top local chefs for its annual outdoor tasting event Harvest on the Hooch.

The event, which benefits the Roswell-based facility's Unity Garden, will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16.

Harvest on the Hooch supports the Chattahoochee Nature Center’s Unity Garden, which supplies more than five tons of fresh produce annually to the North Fulton Community Charities' food pantry.

Additionally, the Unity Garden is a learning facility where water conservation methods are taught and where children can plant, harvest, weed, seed and deliver the produce to NFCC food pantry while tasting just how delicious veggies can be.

Amidst a peaceful outdoor setting, attendees will enjoy a special kind of Southern-style garden party featuring generous samples from top local chefs along with wines, craft beers, live entertainment and activities for children.

Some of these activities include cornhole, hula hooping, a scavenger hunt with prizes and face painting as well as a menagerie of furry and fuzzy animals like alpacas, goats and cute baby chicks.

The event will be held at, of course, the Unity Garden at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, which is located at 9135 Willeo Road in Roswell.

Tickets are $45 for adults in advance and $55 at the door (if available). The cost for children is $15. However, kids who are age 10 and younger get in for free.

You can purchase your tickets online at www.harvestonthehooch.org or by calling 770-992-2055 x 226.
