Slow Food Austin and PEAS: Partners for Education, Agriculture and Sustainability are planning a fun Seedling Social garden party for adults and kids alike. Come out for food, fun, music, kids’ activities, gardening information, and learn all about Ark of Taste plants. We’ll have seedlings for you to take home and grow in your own garden, raffle prizes, a bar for grown-ups, and juices for kids.
Funds raised at this event will benefit both Slow Food Austin and PEAS. Ark of Taste seedlings are also being grown for use in school garden programs operated by PEAS. The Slow Food Ark of Taste is a living catalog of culturally significant foods in danger of extinction. By promoting growing and eating these foods, we keep them in production and on our plates.
Special thanks to Titos Handmade Vodka for operating the bar at our Seedling Social.
Thank you to Jugo for juices, High Dive for sparkling water, and The Infinite Monkey Theorem for wines and Shade Tree for organic lemonade.

Slow Sessions are the free, educational seminars Slow Food Austin offers to the public. This October, come join Eric Knight of Local Leaf Yaupon Maté as he leads us on an edible plant walk to learn more about our local environment and the wild foods growing all around us in central Texas. Eric will go over the ethics of foraging, review some important safety guidelines and touch on some botany basics before showing us how he and his partner/co-owner Stacy forage and harvest yaupon, the only caffeinated plant indigenous to North America. Afterward, we will get to taste expressions of Local Leaf, the yaupon tea they cold-brew and bottle.
This two-hour walk will be limited to a small group, so please only RSVP if you are positive you can attend on October 6th from 11 am to 1pm! Before the event, I will follow up via email with details such as what to wear and where in the park to meet us.
