Community Garden Bike Tours

banner.jpg

EBC is teaming up with Sustainable Food Edmonton to host two community garden bike tours! Come see the bounty that is growing at some of the community garden sites operating in the City of Edmonton (there are over 70). Each garden will have a host to share the stories of their garden - how the garden operates, how it came to be, and its impact on the local community.

Each tour will visit a different route with approximately 20 kms of riding within 5 hours. You must be comfortable with on-road cycling (light traffic only). Experienced cyclists will lead and tail. Please bring your own:

  • bicycle
  • helmet (mandatory for children and recommended for adults)
  • bike lock
  • appropriate clothing (tour runs rain or shine!)
  • sunscreen & bug spray
  • water, lunch & a snack

Registration is free but mandatory and you will be asked to sign a waiver and photo permission form before participating.
