We’re so thrilled to have you join us for the 2021 Swissvale Edible Garden Tour!

Swissvale Community Action Committee created this FREE, community-wide event in 2019 to create a network of successful vegetable gardeners in and around Swissvale, to inspire confidence in new and young gardeners to start growing, to promote other local food resources, including the Swissvale Farmer’s Market, Swissvale Food Bank, and others, and to raise money to support the Swissvale Community Garden. 

Both the Nebby Neighbor Garden Walk and Open Gardens are CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure!) You can start at any of the 26 Open Gardens stops on Saturday or 13 Nebby Neighbor Garden Walk stops on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday and visit as many or as few gardens as you like. This guide has a map and schedule of events providing information about what to expect at each stop, and what programs are happening when and where.

No matter what part of the tour you join us for, we hope you share photos on Instagram using @SwissvaleAction and #SwissvaleGardens. 

This event would not be possible without the generosity and enthusiasm of our garden hosts. Please thank them for opening up their spaces to the public when you see them. Likewise, the sponsors listed in this guide have been integral to making this tour happen so please support them whenever possible!

Thank you for joining us and happy garden touring,
