Incredible Edible Gardens of Somerville: a self-guided tour

This year’s Somerville garden tour celebrates the city’s expanding community of food growers and their growing environments. Every version of the urban farm—from tiny rooftop gardens to expansive community plots—will be among the over two dozen public and private sites where fruits, vegetables, and herbs create a delicious medley. Gardeners will be present to share their experiences and demonstrate gardening tips and techniques.

Reserve Sunday, July 25, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., to visit these interesting and productive gardens.

Garden tour program booklet/ticket is $10.00 and contains a map and description of the 31 gardens and the demonstrations that will be offered that day at different sites.
