Edible Schoolyard New Orleans and FirstLine Schools present the 1st Annual Edible Evening

An Edible Evening

On March 18th, 2010 the garden at Edible Schoolyard NOLA filled with happy revelers for our first annual garden party, An Edible Evening. Co-chairs Elizabeth Crawford and Kim Elms and their committee arranged a fantastic evening filled with live music, great local food, a silent auction, and special guest Alice Waters. The event raised over $60,000 to support hands-on kitchen and garden programming, ensuring the future sustainability of Edible Schoolyard NOLA.

Thank you to our co-chairs, event committee, Edible Schoolyard NOLA taskforce and staff, chefs, attendees, volunteers, and everyone who made this event possible.
