Cowichan Green Community (CGC) is proud to announce that the annual Edible Garden and Farm Tour will be celebrating its fourth year in the Cowichan Region. The Edible Garden and Farm Tour is meant to showcase incredible landscapes that are not only unique and visually appealing, but more importantly inspirational to the public to start growing their own food. These gardens and farms capture the knowledge and creativity of their designers, which will leave everyone inspired to go home and start digging! The Edible Garden and Farm Tour has become such a sought-after way to spend a Saturday afternoon that we are also adding in a few unique farms into the mis this year that we know people will enjoy.

On Saturday, August 17th from 10AM – 3PM come explore some of the Cowichan Regions most impressive, beautiful, and tastiest edible gardens some of which are hidden away in people’s backyards. With over 10 edible masterpieces to view on this self-guided tour, attendees are given the chance to meet the very hands behind the shovel, and to take away gardening secrets, tips, and techniques for growing their own edible pieces of art. From food forests to cob greenhouses, these art works will not only be visually striking, but also satisfying for the taste buds.

The tour map/brochure will be available by pick-up at CGCs Garden Pantry Thrift Store or via e-mail by early August. If you would like to receive the tour map/brochure by e-mail please make sure to leave your e-mail address when you purchase your ticket.
