EDIBLE URBAN GARDEN TOUR AND AFTER PARTY
Greening DC One Garden at a Time is the theme for this year’s tour. Explore city spaces and residential gardens that will open their doors and gates for the public to see what growing good food in our own backyards, front yards, rooftops, and empty lots is all about. It’s a chance to ask questions, learn from and hear what inspires some of the city’s best gardeners.
The tour will feature a collection of public and private sustainable gardens, guerrilla gardening (learn how to make seed bombs), a workshop with DC Greenworks to learn the importance of and how to install a rain barrel and after-party at OLD CITY green with seasonal food, cocktails and music by the Sligo Creek Stompers.
Set up as a self-guided tour (bike, walk or drive), you will have the opportunity to meet the gardeners, ask them questions and get inspired.
The tour is self-guided and will cover several miles so a bike or a car is recommended.
