Mass Hort, Blue Ginger join forces to serve up local produce

The Massachusetts Horticulture Society has begun supplying Blue Ginger in Wellesley with herbs and Asian greens grown locally by staff and volunteers in a raised bed garden at Elm Bank Reservation via a roughly year-old initiative dubbed Garden to Table. The Chef’s Garden at Elm Bank features 22 vegetable beds featuring mizuna, Thai basil, chilies and Chinese cabbage, shown here via Blue Ginger’s Facebook page.

Blue Ginger will celebrate the program by hosting a cocktail party, with a menu designed around produce from the garden, on Sept. 12 with proceeds going to Mass Hort.

Whole Foods in Wellesley has also teamed with Mass Hort to conduct cooking demonstrations this summer that are tied in with the produce grown at Elm Bank for the Garden to Table program.
