The gardens were in full bloom last month at the Redding Neighbors & Newcomers' Garden of Good and Evil Progressive Dinner. 30 people gathered at the home-garden of Barbara and Ed Murphy for some scrumptous appetizers and pre-dinner drinks before setting off for the entree portion that was set in John and Cathy Kane's garden. There, the guest dined on Lobster Ravioli, Eggplant Rolitini, and Chicken Piccata, catered by Villarino's on Greenwood Avenue in Bethel. After dinner, they headed to the home of Tracey and Karl Kulikowski for some great desserts and coffee.
The garden themed progressive dinner was coordinated by Barbara Murphy, Special Events Co-Chair. "I wanted to create a differenct kind of progressive dinner by bringing guests into our gardens instead of our dining rooms" said Barbara. The night was a huge hit with all that attended.
