Edibles grow in a pot with a visiting chicken (this will be on the tour, June 27).
Those looking for gardening inspiration will find it in spades this coming Saturday, June 27 as Ballard's first Edible Garden Tour runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
In cooperation with Groundswell NW, Sustainable Ballard’s Ingela Wanerstrand has put together a diverse group of 14 edible gardens that are all located in Ballard.
Think your yard is too small for fruit? See what can be done with espalier.
Small yard? Be amazed at how much food can be grown with creative uses of pots and vertical spaces for vegetables and herbs.
This is a self-guided tour and the price is $10 per person or $20 per vehicle (and those who can walk or bike are appreciated!).
Tickets can be purchased through Brown Paper Tickets (www.brownpapertickets.com).
Meet at the Ballard P-Patch at 26th Northwest and Northwest 85th Street at 10 a.m.
