Hi Everyone!

We're hosting a special 2-Day Grow Food Party Extravaganza at our house (2250 Ocean St. Ext. in Santa Cruz) on Saturday & Sunday, August 7 & 8! This may be the first ever 2-Day Grow Food Party! Please check out the details below, then RSVP on the web at: www.AbundanceInBalance.com/Calendar.

What is a Grow Food Party?
A Grow Food Party is a community gathering in which people come together to have fun and create an edible garden. We play music, eat delicious food, and learn how to grow food by doing it together. Its a great way to spend time with you're favorite people, make new friends, and make a remarkable contribution to someone's life in your community - all with the intention of creating a future of health, happiness, and abundance!

What's special about this party?
As the wise saying goes "The knowing is in the doing," and we have a variety of projects where guests can gain experience to take home and create their own edible gardens. 
During the party we will building veggie beds, planting patches of food forest, putting in a drip system, and possibly putting up a deer fence.
Since we are planning a 2-Day party, friends are welcome to stay late for continued fun around the fire at the new fire pit we build and possibly spend the night.
The site itself is a treat to visit - a beautiful, sunny green home with a view surrounded by oak woodlands, just outside downtown Santa Cruz - near the San Lorenzo River.

Party Details
Saturday 10-5PM - Grow Food Party
               6:30PM-10PM - Music around the Fire and More delicious food
Sunday 10AM - ? - Continue with any work that's left over and have a yummy community brunch.*
*We highly emphasize coming on Saturday as most of the project focus will happen then - AND we might complete all the work and have nothing left for Sunday.

What to bring and expect
Bring tools, musical instruments, a potluck item, clothes to get dirty in, and anything else fun.
The whole party will be led by Devin Slavin, co-founder of the Grow Food Party Crew, along with the help of many others.
