National City nonprofit hosts virtual soiree
Olivewood Gardens & Learning Center celebrates its work as a leader around health equity and food access during a virtual celebration, “Seedling Soirée 2021,” from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The celebration will feature a variety of activities, including: curated drink and food packages for guests to prepare at home created by Olivewood Kitchenistas, local chefs and mixologists (order by Wednesday); extended access to view the “The Kitchenistas” film and a panel featuring the filmmakers and film cast; and a silent auction and live auction, both of which are open now online at olivewoodgardens.org/seedling-soiree. Guests can tour Olivewood’s spring garden at 2525 N Ave. in National City when they come to pick up their to-go food and drink packages. Ticket packages start at $50. Each ticket purchase will be doubled from a $50,000 match from an anonymous donor. Reserve tickets at olivewoodgardens.org/seedling-soiree; call (619) 4
