Each year, Sustainable Ballard hosts a fun tour highlighting many interesting edible gardens across our neighborhood. The tour includes multiple gardens to explore within walking distance of each other. For those who have never been, plan to spend a day walking or biking through Ballard to discover how your neighbors raise urban fruits and vegetables. Chat with the home gardeners themselves to learn the magic behind their masterpieces.
If you're new to gardening, we hope that you can join us at the Edible Garden Tour to see what other gardeners in the neighborhood are doing and get some useful tips.
This walking or biking tour of neighborhood gardens in Northeast Ballard includes planting strips, containers, raised beds, chickens, and all sorts of creative edibles from fruit trees to berries to veggies galore. The start point at Kirke Park will feature live music, a raffle and many gardening resources.
