Third annual Edible Front Yard Garden Tour set for Thursday

Community members are invited to join a free guided walking tour of food-producing front yard gardens at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Calvin Presbyterian Church Community Garden, 1736 N.W. Dixon St. at Northwest Cleveland Avenue.

The tour will include stops at five additional sites in the neighborhood, and it also will include a bonus site plus a brief lecture on fall and winter gardening by local Master Gardener Janet Throop.

Each host resident will give a brief overview of their garden how they transformed the space, selected what to plant and overcame challenges.

This is the third year for the Edible Front Yard Garden Tours, sponsored by the Food Action Team of the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition.

The goal of the tours is to encourage Corvallis residents to consider edible plants as an option when they landscape their yards, thereby increasing home food production in the community.

A second tour is planned for Wednesday, Aug. 27, in south Corvallis. For details, send email to info@sustainablecorvallis.org or call 541-230-1237.
