It was a chocolate lovers feast on Saturday at the Holly Hill Mall in Burlington. Our own Sally Brown was the "Willy Wonka" of the event as she planned, planted,and harvested an abundance of chocolotiers and chocolate cheers for a sweet filled day! Approximately 30 businesses to include restaurants,caterers,(and our garden!)shared 500 scrumptious samples each of chocolate treats to a steady crowd of cravers. The Garden of Concord's offerings were not the most elite, but in creativity(and variety!),we did compete! Chocolate covered carrots, Beet chocolate cupcakes, Spinach brownies, Chocolate delights, Jalapeno brownies, Zucchini chocolate muffins, Chocolate truffles, White pine bark with blueberries, and the best ever chocolate chip cookies were enjoyed by many!
We also shared many garden cheers in anticipation of our season soon beginning. Our first new seasonal membership for the year was sold to an unknown buyer in the silent auction held (looking forward to meeting and growing with you!)
Many thanks to all our garden members that whipped up samples and served and to everyone that considered and selected our sweets! Many of you have inquired of the recipes and they will be posted soon!
Come grow (and cook!) with us..It WILL be good!
