PARK CITY, Utah — On Thursday, August 4, the Summit Community Garden (SCG) will host their Bee Lovers Dinner from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., sponsored by Julie Hopkins Real Estate. The dinner cost is $200, and tickets are available on the SCG website.

The dinner will consist of a honey tasting and a talk about testing the different flavors you find in honey.  There will also be a talk on honey bee education and how we as a community can help them. Beekeeper McKay Orton, an entomologist with over ten years of beekeeping experience, will lead the activities throughout the dinner.

SCG partnered with Summit County, Summit Land Conservancy, and Basin Recreation to create the 1.5-acre property and operate it in 2015.  There are 88 community garden plots, perennial demonstration beds, vegetable demonstration beds, a beehive, a kid’s garden, and a compost center on the property. SCG also offers classes, volunteer opportunities, and other activities.
