FOOD GARDEN TOURS

Our Kitchen Table Presents: Food Garden Tours

Tours will start at 5:30 p.m. with a neighborhood overview and distribution of tour map. We’ll begin walking at 6p.m. At 8:15, we’ll conclude with delicious samples of grilled garden foods at our last garden stop.

Each tour will take you on a 1- to 2-mile walk past 8 – 10 diverse gardens. Wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes and bring your water bottle (we’ll fill it up!) The Food Garden Tours are one part of Our Kitchen Table’s Food Diversity Project.
