MTM Good Food film Inch By Inch: Providence Youth Gardens for Education and MTM8’s Every Third Bite will screen at the Garden Party - an event hosted by Aurora Picture Show this Saturday along with a tour of the gardens and food / drinks.
In an evening that will get you off of your couch and out into nature, Aurora invites you to join in a garden party with film, food and flowers. Ride your bike, walk your legs or drive on over, but don’t forget your blankets or chairs to sit in the grasss for a night under the stars in Mandell Park in Houston’s Museum District. In partnership with Friends of Mandell Park and State Farm Agent E. Bailey Moore, Aurora Picture Show presents a night under the stars with short films about gardening and nature on Saturday, September 26 at 7PM in Mandell Park, 1501 Richmond Ave. The screening is curated by Mary Magsamen of Aurora Picture Show.
Bees, manicured lawn, community gardens and dung beetles are just a few of the subjects in this big-screen presentation of garden-inspired short films. The program features animation, live action and documentary films that highlight gardening and natural environments. In addition to the screening, gardeners from Meredith Gardens will host tours of the gardens and offer brief demonstrations of seed planting. Household chefs are also invited to arrive early with garden-inspired culinary treats to share with the community. Each chef will be entered into a drawing with gifts courtesy of Whole Foods Market. Fuze Beverages will also be on hand to share their yummy drinks.
