The Trust’s Chef in the Garden event on July 9 will pair Tom Douglas’ superlative flavor combinations with a memorable summer evening surrounded by lush gardens and gentle music.

Each course will be paired with fine Northwest wines.
Diners may choose a vegetarian menu meal when they purchase their tickets. They also have the opportunity to specify individuals or a group with whom they wish to sit during the dinner.
Beverages and appetizers will be served beginning at 6 p.m., while people are strolling the garden and examining garden-themed baskets to be sold via a silent auction. Dinner seating will be at 7.
