THROW A Pizza Party

The Annapolis Green group considered quite a few different options: make its own pizza and bake on a grill (a store-bought or homemade crust loaded with ingredients such as marinara sauce, cheese, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs is extra tasty when grilled outdoors); have a pizza food truck come to the party; or simply order pizza takeout and have fresh garden toppings available as extras. Because it was a large group and the celebration at dusk, takeout pizza with garden toppings was the choice. As a dessert treat, ice cream cups were enjoyed.

If you want, make your own red sauce by sautéing chopped fresh tomatoes, onions or scallions, and herbs in olive.

The demo pizza garden grew beautifully without any major pest disturbance and everyone had a blast! The kids learned how to prepare a fun garden, then harvest the herbs and vegetables. Everyone that participates in your pizza garden will likely enjoy the effort as much as the result!
