2026 Garden Dinners & Registration
2026 Garden Dinner Dates: August 8 and October 10
Looking for other seed-to-table dinner experiences? Register for Table Talks here.
Garden Dinner events are delicious and unique experiences for locals and visitors alike, celebrating the seasonal abundance of food sourced on site, from the Moab Valley, and the wider Colorado Plateau region. We’re excited to be hosting two unique Garden Dinners this year!
Prepare for refreshed, memorable experiences built upon the same multi-course, seed-to-table dining experience you’ve come to love. Please read each event description carefully, as the times, locations, and experiences will be different at each dinner.
All proceeds from our seed-to-table events support hands-on, garden-based learning and engagement experiences for youth and community members in Moab. Come enjoy the bounty of the garden with us!
