GATHER IN THE GARDEN 2026

Larkfield Community Garden's Annual Benefit

Bringing together neighbors, friends, and supporters for an evening in the garden supporting Community Soil Foundation’s work at the Larkfield Community Garden & Learning Center.

A harvest celebration featuring live music by Milagro, a seasonal meal prepared by Chef Rym Ernst, and local wine, beer, and cider. Enjoy woodland walks, family activities, and an evening of community and connection in the garden.

As we navigate the challenging political and funding landscape, we find ourselves behind our regular funding this time of year. Our goal at the benefit is to raise $25,000 to sustain CSF’s programs. 

Your contribution directly supports free outdoor education for 450 local students each year, fresh organic food access for families, and ongoing stewardship of the Larkfield Community Garden and surrounding oak woodland.
