Cultivating community through homegrown food around the table has always been a long held passion of mine. I love the connection and celebration that summer gardening, cooking, and gathering friends around the grill brings. It’s a ritual I’ve deeply missed since the pandemic began. Nothing brings me more pleasure than crafting a freshly harvested meal after a day spent tending the garden, then sitting down to a seasonal table scape to enjoy the evening with family and friends. I am thrilled to welcome that winning trifecta back into my life this summer with special thanks to The Home Depot, Traeger Grills, and Bonnie Plants.
