AFF Hosts Annual Garden Party & Wine Tasting

Alice Ferguson Foundation hosted its Annual Garden Party and Wine Tasting evegarden-party-eve-croppednt on June 19th. This event was sponsored in partnership with the Prince George’s Economic Development Corporation (EDC). Among the more than 100 attendees were leadership from the Prince George’s County EDC, two MD cabinet secretaries, two heads of local jurisdictional Departments of the Environment, the Chair of the County Council, and many esteemed members of the local community, businesses, and nonprofits. Guests mingled on the hilltop for an evening of delicious food, drinks, and live music. It was our pleasure to feature some of Prince George’s County’s finest businesses as we offered specialty chocolates generously provided by SPAGnVOLA, as well as a variety of wines from Romano Vineyard and Winery, in addition to a selection of artisanal wines created by AFF Board President Dan Jackson.

The Foundation’s Hard Bargain Farm Environmental Center offered the perfect setting and served as a compelling reminder of AFF’s mission to connect people to the natural world by providing environmental education experiences to the students of Prince George’s County and the Washington, DC metropolitan region. We invite you to learn more about the Foundation’s events and news and join our community of members and to support our efforts.

Our guiding principles of education, inspiration and innovation were front and center throughout the evening, particularly with opportunities to tour the nearly completed first phase of our upgraded education buildings. Our Potomac Watershed Study Center (PWSC), one of just a handful of building sites in the world that fully embrace the Living Building Challenge ©, will serve as a valuable teaching tool and resource for business leaders, community members, students and teachers alike. We invite you to learn more about this ground breaking project and to become involved.
