A transformative evening of eco-conscious elegance awaits as Living Green Barrie (LG) prepares to host its much-anticipated Gala in the Woods. The event, scheduled for September 16th at the picturesque Springwater Provincial Park, promises to weave together the enchantment of nature with a celebration of local, farm-to-table cuisine, forging an unforgettable experience that underscores the importance of sustainability.
This unique event aims to raise funds for local climate action and to help LG reach its goal of planting 10,000 trees for Barrie. As Barrie's environmental charity, LG plays a vital role in making our entire community better, but it cannot be done without the help of the community.
A Symphony of Nature and Flavor
Nestled amidst the emerald embrace of the tranquil Springwater Park forest, the Gala in the Woods beckons attendees to immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors. As the sun sets and the moonlight filters through the leaves, guests will be transported into a realm where the harmony of nature and human innovation intersect.
Living Green Barrie’s Project Director Sarah Herr remarks, "The Gala in the Woods is a symphony composed of two key elements: the serene allure of the forest and the delectable artistry of locally sourced cuisine. This unique blend creates a space where the preservation of our environment and the celebration of community harmonize beautifully."
An Ode to Sustainability
The carefully curated menu is a testament to the power of supporting local farmers. Each dish is a culinary masterpiece, artfully crafted to emphasize the diversity of our region's harvest.
"This event is more than just a feast for the senses," states Chef Sarah Jones, the renowned local chef creating the Gala's culinary showcase. "It's an opportunity to connect with the origins of our food, to understand the journey from farm to plate, and to embrace the responsibility we all share in safeguarding our planet."
The evening will also feature live music by Brett Caswell, an art and experience auction, and the presentation of the first annual Living Green Business Awards.
