Radiance Gardens Ribbon Cutting & Community Social

Join us as we celebrate Radiance Gardens’ anniversary with a ribbon cutting ceremony, workshop, and culinary experience!

The celebration will begin with a brief Fall Gardening Workshop led by Vetiveah, featuring practical tips for growing nutritious leafy greens and root vegetables in small spaces.

Following the workshop and ribbon cutting, guests are invited to a special community social gathering, presented in partnership with Radiance Gardens, our local restaurant members, and the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut.

This gathering will bring together restaurants and community partners to celebrate the journey from locally grown and sourced ingredients to the dishes we enjoy. Guests can sample locally inspired dishes and connect with the chefs and businesses behind them.
