5th Annual Ballard Edible Garden Tour

Sustainable Ballard invites you to our walking / biking tour of Central Ballard food gardens!

Grow! Don’t mow.

Central Ballard will be the area featured in the upcoming 2013 Edible Garden Tour. This walking or biking tour provides examples of creative uses of parking strips, containers, raised beds, chicken coops, fruit trees, berries, bees and more!

Meet the gardeners and ask questions. The tour includes a dozen gardens to explore within walking distance of Trinity United Methodist Church and Salmon Bay School. Your ticket includes a map of gardens and one entry into a Raffle of gardening books, supplies & Fiskars tools. Local NW gardening authors will be on hand to answer your gardening questions.

Cost: $10 (kids are free) supports Sustainable Ballard’s community projects

Buy your ticket/map at the parking lot west of Trinity United Methodist Church, 6512 – 23rd Ave NW, on the day of the tour
