A Toast to Summer: A RevelEleven Women's Garden Gathering
Join us for an enchanting summer evening in the lush West Seattle garden oasis of Lorene Edwards Forkner’s, weekly gardening columnist for Pacific Magazine in the Seattle Times. A lifelong gardener, writer, and advocate for living in harmony with the seasons, Lorene lives what she calls a “garden-based life” in her charming home near the beach. Her garden is like a living laboratory encouraging us to collaborate with nature, savor seasonal pleasures, and find respite in the rhythms of the earth.
We will also dive into the world of non-alcoholic drinks. An elevated tasting experience curated by The NA Sommelier—a mobile, zero-proof bar offering sophisticated, non-alcoholic drink pairings. We’ll enjoy hors d'oeuvres and Prosecco.
Lorene is also the author of Color In and Out of the Garden, an exploration of flowers, colors and creativity. Arranged by color, each chapter helps readers sharpen their powers of observation and capture nature’s lovely palette. Both a mindfulness exercise for seeing garden colors and an easy guide to reproducing them on the page, Forkner guides you through the spectrum with her own watercolors while offering inspiration and a delightful garden respite from everyday stress.
Lorene will have her beautiful books and postcards available for purchase—perfect mementos of an evening spent rooted in community, creativity, and connection.
Let’s celebrate summer, nature, and each other. We can’t wait to see you in the garden.
