On July 8, Innisfree Hotels will host its inaugural “Lettuce Eat†outdoor dinner in the “From the Ground Up†community garden. The project is a volunteer-driven initiative to provide fresh food and
employment opportunities to disadvantaged members of our local community.
Innisfree founder and CEO Julian MacQueen, his wife Kim and their family will host the Mayor oAshton Hayward and his family at the dinner. The City of Pensacola is a partner in the project. The garden is on city property and will ultimately be integrated into the Hollice T. Williams Urban Linear Greenway Framework Plan.
The event is being organized to celebrate the success of the first season and to raise funds to sustain the garden into the future. Participants will eat among the vines and vegetables and enjoy a farm-to-table menu prepared by Celebrity Chef Dan Dunn (from Hilton Pensacola Beach’s H20 Cajun Asian Grill) with support from his chef friends like David Penniman (from Classic City Catering). Innisfree gardener, Cat McCreery will be on hand to give garden tours.
