Welcome to the swissvale edible garden tour!
A group of garden-loving neighbors created this FREE, community-wide event in 2019 to foster a supportive network of gardeners in and around Swissvale, to inspire confidence in new and young gardeners, to promote local food resources.
This year’s event has two parts, both held on Saturday, July 12: Open Gardens runs from 9AM-1PM and the Community Picnic runs from 1:30PM-3:30PM.
Open Gardens is CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) - start wherever you’d like and visit stops in any order. Printed guides are available at the Info Table at the Swissvale Farmers Market (9AM-1PM). The guide contains a map and schedule of events, along with more info.
At 1:30PM the Community Picnic begins. Join us at the Swissvale Farmers Market for food, activities, music, and to meet other tour-goers and garden stop hosts.
We’d love to see your photos! If you share them on Instagram, tag @Swissvaleyinz 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,
