GREEN VALENTINE brings together top Houston chefs to present
their version of Green Eggs and Kale at Canopy (3939
Montrose), which is offered to the public February 1 through
February 15 with proceeds benefiting Urban Harvest.
Established in 2005 as a tree-planting celebration in The
Heights, Green Valentine has since branched out into a twoweek long series of events honoring Valentine’s season and
supporting local artists, restaurants, nonprofits and businesses
that are impacting healthy communities. www.GreenValentine.org

As DESSERT GALLERY celebrates its 20th
anniversary this year, the delish dessert store
is undergoing a new look while staying true to
its roots. This new look will bring an innovative
and fresh vibe. Owner Sara Brook plans to
keep all the homemade and rich desserts the
bakery is known for. “Our desserts are all
about love and comfort,” said Brook. “Over
half of our menu is long-time favorites that our
customers have let us know in no uncertain
terms that they simply cannot do without!”
