Nelson second-annual Edible Garden Tour will show people just what can be grown with a bit of soil and some effort.
The tour features roughly 20 Nelson gardens in several neigbhourhoods, says Valerie Sanderson, organizer of the tour.
Valerie Sanderson is organizing the tour “to give people a chance to showcase what they’re doing in growing food in the city and to give people a chance to learn from each other.”
She wants to consolidate the vegetable-growing knowledge in Nelson and also find a way to form links between the older generations (and their vast experience growing food) and the new gardeners in the community.
Sanderson hopes the tour will encourage more people to take up gardening as a way to provide more local food.
