JUPITER JAUNT
There’s still a bit of summer vacation before school starts. For a quick, relaxing trip, head north to Jupiter, Fla., where local resident Tiger Woods recently opened the Woods restaurant at Harbourside Place on the Intracoastal Waterway (shown here). The sports fanatic placed flat-screen televisions throughout the $8 million, 5,900-square-foot space with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a private dining room for groups up to 10 and a back area for parties up to 50 people. Other décor details include marble and granite finishes, doors emblazoned with golf quotes and a private elevator for VIPS. The American menu sticks to classics like ice-cold martinis, Caprese salads and lamb chops. Stay at Wyndham Grand Jupiter at Harbourside Place, which features a rooftop pool and a presidential suite among 179 rooms.

SEED TO SALAD
Little River Cooperative’s organic gardening workshops fill up fast, so we’re spreading the word now. Choose from two weekend dates, September 13 or 19, for introduction to vegetable gardening in South Florida from 9 a.m. to noon. Designed for novices and seasoned pros alike, activities include choosing the right garden location; building raised beds; soil preparation and composting; crops that thrive in a tropical climate, and organic methods for pest control. Because most of us can’t get enough of the region’s juicy heirloom tomatoes during their peak in winter and spring, instructors also will cover how to choose the best varieties, trellising and pruning. If you just don’t have a green thumb, at least sign up for one of the farm’s last remaining CSA boxes that are available November through April.
