2024’s Edible Garden Tour was a Bumper Crop!

Every June we host our annual Edible Garden Tour around the various areas of Ballard. Historically there have been 5 micro regions-SW, NE, SE, NW and Central. Last year we visited the most gardens for one tour in Ballard’s Central area ranging from 15th Ave NW on the Eastern Edge to 24th Ave on the Western Edge from 65th North to 85th. There were a record 26 Gardens on the tour in 2024 with 6 returning garden hosts. It was a lot of gardens to get to in one day but many people enjoyed the variety and abundance!

Speaking of abundance, all of this was made possible by an incredible volunteer group consisting of 20 people! Nine of those volunteers were core team members helping to scout the gardens in Spring when it can be difficult to know for sure what the growing season will offer. There were 6 new volunteers who brought fresh perspectives and enthusiasm to the effort. Over 290 tickets were sold with 255 actual attendees! This is one of our biggest fundraisers for Sustainable Ballard and helps us fund other projects and events. Thank you to EVERYONE who hosted, volunteered, and attended! We look forward to another great Edible Garden Tour on June 28th 2025. See you in the gardens!
