For its fourth annual spring-season kickoff party, Red Wagon Plants invites green thumbs and the greenhouse-curious on a sunset hoop-house wander. Peruse pansies, potted herbs and veggies while taking a backstage look at how the pros handle early-season planting. Since it's Friday afternoon, sip a boozy beverage made with Red Wagon herbs and tipples by Caledonia Spirits. If the garden dreaming and greenhouse chatting keep you out past suppertime, fear not: Farmers & Foragers food truck will dish out Vermont beef cheesesteaks, veggie poutine, perch po'boys and avocado tacos. Spring bonus: According to the weatherman, temperatures are forecast to be in the mid-50s — and our dear old friend sunshine is scheduled to appear.
Opening Day Cocktail Party: Friday, April 14, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Red Wagon Plants, Hinesburg. Cocktails, $5. Info, redwagonplants.com.
