On Tuesday, June 8, SGR will co-sponsor Verde, hosted by Generation Green of the Georgia Conservancy and honoring Atlanta’s sustainability community.

The event will be held on the terrace of Piedmont Park’s Greystone building, overlooking Lake Clara Meer. Guests will enjoy organic, local foods prepared by Affairs to Remember, organic wines from Bonterra Vineyards and beer from Atlanta-based SweetWater Brewery.

At Verde, Generation Green will recognize the 2010 winner of the Longleaf Award, Korri Ellis, as an up-and-coming environmental leader for her work with Grady High School’s environmental programs. The event will also feature exhibits from several Atlanta-based, eco-conscious artists.

Funds raised will go to support the Georgia Conservancy’s efforts to protect and promote stewardship of Georgia’s environment.

Tickets are available here.
