Camille Waters' Last Garden Party "Lettuce Fool Around in the Garden"
Houston. January 1, 2007. Camille Waters, known as The Queen of Lettuce, will be opening her beautiful organic gardens at the edge downtown Houston to the public as she hosts
her last annual epicurean picnic benefiting Urban Harvest and Chefs' Collaborative on Sunday, April 1, 2007, from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm, 813 Jackson Hill (behind Patrenella's Restaurant and two blocks south of Washington Avenue in the West End). Tickets at $30 each, and will be available at the garden the day of the event. For more information please call Urban Harvest at 713-880-5540.
"After thirteen years of growing lettuce in Houston, I have decided to retire and move permanently to Mexico," stated Waters, "and this will be the eleventh annual, and final garden party. We hope all our friends will come say hello and goodbye, and Happy Birthday to Harry Sheppard, who will be celebrating his 79th birthday with us in the garden."
Chefs expected to participate include:
Joseph Oldhan, Ouattro, The Four Seasons Hotel
Robert Del Grande, Cafe Annie
Mark Cox, Mark's
John Sheely, Mockingbird Bistro

Each chef will create and serve unique dishes featuring heirloom lettuces and vegetables grown by farmer Camille Waters (event chair).
Chefs' Collaborative recognizes the inherent value of locally grown and harvested foods, and supports market gardeners across the United States.
Urban Harvest provides ongoing education in all phases of organic gardening and has established more than 100 gardens in seven counties in and around Houston.
Camille Waters has for the last thirteen years provided Houston's most innovative chefs with an array of salad greens, vegetables, and edible flowers which they have served to their guests.
Mandy G. Smith and Harry Sheppard provide musical entertainment while guests tour the gardens and enjoy Texas beers and organic wines. Preserves, garden art, and organic transplants are offered for sale. Prizes are awarded for especially festive garden hats, and the Kiss-A-Pug booth benefits Pug Rescue of Texas.
