Waterfront Kitchen will host a fundraising event on Thursday, October 11, to kick off its Greenhouse Project effort, which seeks to fund both capital improvements and an operations budget for an expanded Living Classrooms BUGS (Baltimore Urban Gardening for Students) program. The project aims to build a new greenhouse, relocating the old greenhouse and, ultimately, providing a full-time gardener/teacher.

The goal, says co-owner Michael Klein, is to greatly expand the number of children able to experience both the joys and the educational value of growing fresh vegetables, herbs and flowers. “We’re building on the commitment we made when we opened Waterfront Kitchen,” he says. “It’s clear that greenhouse and garden activities are enriching kids’ lives and teaching them invaluable skills.”

Attendance runs $125 per person, and can be purchased only in advance here. Tickets include a reception at 6:30 PM with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, followed by a four course dinner at 7:30 PM with wine pairings, live music, dancing and a live auction.
