Annually in July the Food Garden Tour celebrates the hard work and success of food gardeners all over the city. Tour participants are invited to visit garden projects by bus or bike. The tour concludes with a celebration with food, music, and conversation. The edible flint Food Garden Tour is supported by area businesses and individual donors.

The Day of the Event |

Meet the Gardeners |
|
Listening to what the gardeners had to share is a completely unique learning experience. These gardeners in Flint and surrounding towns are very passionate and motivated to do what they do. It is truly inspiring.
|
By hosting the Food Garden Tour members of Genesee County and neighboring areas not only become more inspired to grown some of their own food, but also are able to see Flint from a new perspective that is not commonly portrayed in the media.
