Freshest of the Fresh!

Today is the Garden Dinner Party at one of our properties! The F&B team held a special reception this afternoon where Chef Nic, Chef Travis and Tim Connelly of Connelly Farms spoke to our guests about how our on-property garden came about! All tray passed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails at the reception, plus the dishes presented at the dinner were made with ingredients fresh from the garden. The table decor was also made by our florals team using ingredients from the garden as well! Our food and beverage team is extremely talented and I'm proud to showcase their hard work! Listed below are the goodies from the reception and the menu that will be presented at dinner.
