About the event: Join us for a fun walking or biking tour of neighborhood gardens, planting strips, containers, raised beds, chickens, and all sorts of creative edibles from fruit trees to berries to veggies galore. Plan to spend a day walking or biking through Ballard to discover how your neighbors raise urban fruits and vegetables. Gardeners will be on hand to answer your questions. If you’re new to gardening, we hope that you can join us to see what other gardeners in the neighborhood are doing and get some tips! The tour includes multiple gardens to explore within walking distance of each other in Southwest Ballard. The Master Gardeners of Thyme Patch Park will be on hand for a pop-up clinic. Have a plant that’s having a hard time? Want help finding the perfect plant for that finicky part of your yard? Always wondered what that plant in the corner of your yard is? Bring your questions for their expert answers! More information here.
As anyone who’s recently tried to find vegetable seeds or plant starts can attest, there has been a renewed interest in edible gardening these past couple of years as people spend more time at home and try to make do with fewer grocery trips. Sustainable Ballard hopes that our annual Edible Garden Tour will inspire and inform all the budding gardeners out there! Your $15 donation supports Sustainable Ballard’s community projects. Now in its 13th year, the Edible Garden Tour has been an inspiration to hundreds of gardeners every summer.
