Beauty's Community Garden Presents: Food Is Medicine

Join Beauty’s Community Garden for Food Is Medicine, an inspiring community experience celebrating the powerful connection between what we eat, how we live, and how we care for ourselves and our community.

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 10:00 AM–3:00 PM, we’re bringing together food, wellness, gardening, culture, and community for an afternoon designed to nourish the body, spark new ideas, and make healthy living feel accessible and enjoyable.

Guests will enjoy local chefs, food tastings, garden workshops, herbal wellness education, live music, and hands-on experiences centered around growing, preparing, and understanding food as an important part of overall wellness.

We’re also honored to welcome featured guest speaker Dr. Aruna Weerasooriya, Associate Vice President for Research & Innovation and a specialist in medicinal plants. Dr. Weerasooriya will share insight into the fascinating relationship between plants, food, traditional knowledge, and wellness.
