The Tour des Jardins is a social bicycle ride between community gardens and urban farms in Saint Paul. The event is something between an open house, a bike ride, a culinary adventure, and a social gathering to bring people together in a fun way and strengthen our network of local community gardens.
Participating gardens:
Participating community gardens will host visitors for about an hour, providing an appetizer or beverage using produce from their garden. A garden representative will be on hand to provide a tour of their space and answer questions about the garden’s features.
List of participating gardens TBD:
Mounds Park Community Garden
Participants:
Times are approximate guesses. We want to stick to a schedule as much as possible so participants can plan their day. You are welcome to join us for the whole tour, or just a few stops. Heck, you can even just do one stop if you like.
The bike ride: The tour will be leisurely and fun - no riders left behind. Riders should be comfortable with riding 15 miles. Mechanics will be on hand to help if your bike has mechanical issues. However, mechanics will have limited capabilities. The tour is not just for cyclists. You are welcome to drive if you like.
