2018 Fall Banquet sponsored by the Master Gardener Foundation of Spokane County
Get ready for a wonderful evening! Peruse our silent auction and bid on an airplane ride or bottle of your favorite wine. If you have never met a dessert you didn't love, be sure to participate in the Dessert Dash with contributions from all the best bakeries in town. Your ticket also includes a catered dinner and outstanding keynote presentation from Andrea Wulf. She is an award winning author from London who will speak about her book the "Invention of Nature". It's an award winning biography about a long forgotten scientist, Alexander Von Humboldt. His extensive travel and study led him to the early ideas of ecology that were so unique in his day, but so important to today's world. Our author will be available for a meet and greet and book signing during the evening.
