This Saturday at Burlington’s Intervale Center, the Vermont Community Garden Network will host Feast for the Gardens, a fundraiser that brings together live music, apps and dinner from nika, Crop Bistro & Brewery, Guild Fine Meats and Half Pint Farm.

Tickets are $80 and available through vcgn.org.
