Benefit for market
The 10th annual Farm to Table benefit for the North Union Farmers Market and the Cleveland Botanical Garden will be Monday at the Geis Terrace of the garden, 11030 East Blvd., Cleveland.
The benefit celebrates the year of the honeybee, and features chefs from many of Northeast Ohio's finest restaurants preparing food with local ingredients.
It will focus on the importance of honeybees, whose populations are diminishing throughout Ohio and the country, and will feature honey tastings by Jorgensen's Apiary and the Ohio Honey Company.
The benefit begins at 5:30 p.m. with a symposium on ''Local & Green,'' moderated by author and chef Michael Ruhlman, and featuring Stanley Gardner, doctor of preventative medicine in Westlake; Jeff Heinen, owner of Heinen's Markets; Rebecca Reynolds, owner of Green Clean Inc.; Steve Schimoler, owner of Crop Bistro and Warren and Angela Seymour, owners of Longhedges Estates.
Chef stations are open from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Tickets are $85, $75 for members of the North Union Farmers Market or Botanical Garden, $45 of which is tax deductible. Tickets include an open wine bar and tours of the garden.
Paid reservations are required. Call 216-721-1600, Ext. 100, for tickets. The event will take place rain or shine and tickets are nonrefundable.
Parking is not included in the ticket price.

About a dozen local restaurants will be offering samples of their foods on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. when BJ's Wholesale Club, 1677 Home Ave., hosts a Taste of the Town event.
