For one night, a community came together.

Presented by RBC, HomeGrown Garden Disco brought together guests, sponsors, volunteers, donors, and supporters in support of Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region.

Great food. Meaningful conversations. Live music. Generosity. New connections. Familiar faces. And a shared commitment to helping build stronger communities.

Events like these are a reminder of what can happen when a great cause is paired with an unforgettable experience.

Thank you to Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region, RBC, the many sponsors and supporters who helped bring the evening to life, and every guest who joined us.

Prom Night Iron Horse Ranch ✨

Tonight we had the privilege of catering Lakefield College School’s Prom, welcoming nearly 200 students, faculty, and guests for an evening celebrating the Class of 2026.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Iron Horse Ranch, guests gathered for an evening celebrating this important milestone. Working from Lakefield’s beautiful greenery vision, our team added a few garden-inspired floral touches to complement the tablescape before guests enjoyed a family-style dinner service prepared on-site, with our smoker rolling throughout the afternoon.

A special thank you to Iron Horse Ranch for hosting such a beautiful evening and to Bloom of Lynn for coordinating the rental elements that helped bring the tablescape together.

Congratulations to the graduating class. We were honoured to be part of such a memorable celebration and wish you all the very best in the exciting chapter ahead.
