Get your grow on with DC’s first Edible Urban Garden Tour hosted by Loulies.com.
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 DC’s best gardeners.
The tour will start at Old City Green, a beautiful, plant-filled garden shop and stretch through the revitalized neighborhoods of Shaw, Bloomingdale and Ledroit Park. Plus, see for yourself and learn more about Common Good City Farm, the community garden that Prince Charles recently toured as part of his inspiring Future of Food visit to DC. A map of tour locations will be distributed on the day of the event at Old City Green. Purchase tickets online or pay with credit/cash at the door.
The tour is self-guided and will cover several miles so a bike or a car is recommended.
LOCATION: Old City Green at 902 N Street NW
DATE: July 15, 2011
TIME: 3pm to 8pm
COST: $20 - To buy tickets, go here!
We're looking at edible gardening at Tudor Place Historic House & Garden, too. July 16 (the day after this great tour), we're doing a "Garden to Table" event on truck farming in small spaces: http://www.tudorplace.org/calendar.html. Best part about it is, the group finishes by using the day's home-grown ingredients to make -- and eat -- a gourmet lunch!
