Santa Fe's community gardens will host the inaugural Santa Fe Community Garden Tour on Saturday, September 17 from 1pm-4pm. Gardeners will be available in seven locations during these hours to give tours, answer questions and provide information to sign-up for the 2012 garden season. Gardens include: Frenchy’s, La Familia, Sunnyslope, Railyard Park, Maclovia, Milagro and Hopewell. Click here for a map of these community garden locations. Many locations are near downtown and are a short distance to drive or bike.
Come to the tour to see local food, meet gardeners and see amazing vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers. Some gardens will have garden fresh food and herb water for you to enjoy. Learn about hoop houses, fall/winter gardens and water catchment. Hear the stories of the plants and critters that lived in the gardens this year. Visit one or all seven community gardens.
The tour is self-paced so you can visit the gardens in any order. Visit your neighborhood garden or visit one or all of them if you do not have a community garden yet. Parking is available at all gardens. Please park on the street at Maclovia and Sunny Slope as there is not a specific parking lot for those city parks.
Before The Garden Tour: Come by the Harvest for Peace event (also free!) at the Railyard Park from 10:30am-1pm. It is presented by the Railyard Stewards and Roots & Shoots and will have live music, fun & educational activities, face painting and a parade at 12:30. Home Grown New Mexico will will have recipes for refrigerator pickles, samples and vegetable identification games.
