Benefitting the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, the event is held on Phipps’ front lawn and in the Outdoor Garden and features a variety of fun activities for adults and kids alike. Cafe Phipps will prepare and share a variety of dishes. There will also be cooking demonstrations, a garlic roast and a farmers market.
Home gardeners are invited to enter their ugliest, smallest or largest ripe tomatoes in the Tomato Contest for a chance to win special prizes.
