The Cleveland Botanical Garden’s summertime Gourmets in the Garden series gives Cleveland food lovers an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the local celebrity chefs they’ve been reading about, sample some of their specialties, and learn how to make them themselves.
It kicks off again for the season on Wed 6/11 and continues every Wednesday through 8/27 on the Geis Terrace — or indoors in event of rain.
The series is understandably popular so you might want to reserve tickets now. You can purchase them for the whole series — $60 for members, $160 for nonmembers (a good reason to join!) or $6 for a single event for members, $16 for nonmembers, which includes all-day admission to the Garden.
Here’s the complete lineup of chefs who are participating:
6/11: Jill Vedaa (Rockefeller’s) (pictured)

6/25: Richard Basich (Great Lakes Brewing Company)
