Post image for For Food’s Sake: Secret Supper for 50 at the Urban Oasis

Esther Andrew’s secret supper club, For Food’s Sake, held its April dinner here at Urban Oasis last night. The evening was beautiful and we had a dinner for fifty seated family style outside on the back landing. This five course meal was prepared to perfection by Chefs, Stephen Herman and Matt Swickerath of  the Brookhaven restaurant, Haven.

Vegetables from Doug Dillard’s, Dillwood Farms were showcased and Doug praised the job, Master Gardener, Cindy Harris, is doing for him and for all of us who eat their produce.

Urban Oasis has our garden going growing five types of lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, kale and chard and squash. We really have worked hard to get the garden all mulched, the party lights up and the new patio poured by the time of this event. It is always great to have a deadline to make sure everything looks so good all at one time! Here are the photos I took.

Post image for Prepping for an Atlanta Wedding at the Urban Oasis B and B

It was a great weekend for a wedding and the Urban Oasis is a wonderful spot for a wedding of less than 125 people. This video shows a behind the scenes look at some of the set up involved. I was just trying out the new video camera and so forgive the jumbly videography. If you would like to set up an appointment to visit this awesome event space just give me a  call  at 770-714-8618.

Post image for Memorial for Bernie Andrews

Today we had a memorial service for one of our dear friends and dog walker, Bernie Andrews. This is the third memorial service we’ve had at the Urban Oasis this year and it always seems to lift people’s spirits to be here with their friends and family to celebrate the life of one who has left this world. Here are some photos from the day.

Note the dog watching from the window above.

Craig was feeling very sad today.
