Next we are whisked off for a short walk to the Historic Falcon Bowl 801 E. Clarke St. (a mere block and half from the Jazz Gallery Art Center) for SEED DATING - sponsored by Milwaukee Urban Gardens - for a night of frivolity, seeds, music, good locally sourced food and fun. Master Gardeners, horticulturalists and arborists as well as several community and commercial garden entities will be on hand to answer questions, dance and share seeds. Music will be provided by the young singer songwriter Abby Justus accompanied by long time musician (and her dad) Richard Justus and then followed by the colorful musing of our own DJ NIK Bastman of Sabbatic, Club Anything and Public House fame.
