A message from our friends at Bountiful Cities:

“Until June 15th tickets will be $25 to sample at every garden. We so appreciate these seven local food-producing gardens opening their gates for visitors, educational activities, and tours. There is no cost to visit the gardens, we just ask that you register in advance so we know how many to expect. Local chefs will be preparing small bites featuring seasonal produce for sampling. Register below to join the tour and to purchase food and beverage tickets. If you are interested in volunteering with the garden tour, please fill out the form linked below.”
