Guests were treated to a five-course fundraiser dinner using farm-fresh, local and seasonal dishes made from ingredients grown in City Green's gardens.

Donations will support City Green’s “Growing Strong” high school intern program, offering paid summer employment, youth development and job training to inner city students.
