Above is a copy of the invitation I recieved in early spring 2011 to the First Annual Blogger Event by P.Allen Smith at The Garden Home Retreat. I'm honored to have been on the list to tour Arkansas Governor's Mansion, Marlsgate Plantation, Tour the original P.Allen Smith Garden Home just to name a few of the fabulous locations on the schedule to visit during this networking event.

Interview with Chef Brian

I was discribed on the original list to attend the Garden2Blog event as Garden Photographer / Edible Gardener. If you have visited my blog you will find that I love to grow what I eat year-round. With this in mind it should be no surprise one of my first stops at P.Allen Smiths Home Retreat would be to the kitchen! In the video below I captured a few breif moments in one of P.Allen Smiths kitchens with Chef Brian Kelley. Those who attended this event were spoiled with fine dining from the garden to table during this event and I had to share from the kitchen it was prepared. Chef Brian stresses how much Allen and his team are for using with you grow and supporting local growers.
