Join us!

We are elated to extend a special invitation to you, a friend of Fruitful Commons, to a summer garden social. Come join us to tour East Austin’s magical Este Garden and mingle with other climate and community resilience champions, and enjoy garden-fresh brunch and drinks at Bar Toti next door!

Reconnect with nature and community

Your event ticket will provide you with the opportunity to learn about our work supporting neighborhood leaders and organizations to grow food, strengthen communities, and foster stewardship of the natural commons... plus you'll enjoy these event highlights:

• Garden Tour: Walk with urban farmer Anamaria Gutierrez around the beautiful Este Garden and learn about the fresh produce grown there that is used in culinary creations at Este.

• Herbal Tinctures: Join our hands-on workshop and make your own medicinal tincture to take home! 

• Seed Saving: Learn from local expert Central Texas Seed Savers how to save and package seeds for safe storage. Take some home with you to plant in your garden or share!

• Garden Fresh Brunch & Drinks: Enjoy a delectable brunch created with fresh ingredients from Este’s urban garden crafted by Este chefs. Raise your glass to our collective accomplishments and the vibrant path that lies ahead.

• Silent Auction: Play with us with a silent auction including goodies from vibrant local businesses around Austin.

Empowering Change Through Your Support:

Every ticket purchased and each generous donation is more than an entry-it's a pivotal investment in the growth of more resilient communities and climate. The funds we raise through this event will be woven into every seed sown, every introduction to plant food & medicine, every community connection made, every green job we create, and every positive shift we make in the vibrancy of our shared public commons.
