School Garden Bike Tour

Did you know that there is a thriving student garden program at many DC public schools? Join in for a leisurely bicycle tour of three wonderful school gardens, followed by an informal happy hour at District Hardware & Bike at the Wharf. The school garden bike tour is co-sponsored by the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education’s School Gardens Program,District Hardware & Bike, FoodCorps DC, and Slow Food DC, with the aim of highlighting budding school gardens throughout the city. You'll meet at District Hardware and at each stop, learn about the schools’ garden programs, explore the garden spaces, and experience the sights and smells of the garden. At one of the stops, you will even help with harvesting some veggies. The ride will end back at District Hardware to enjoy refreshments for purchase at the Velo Cafe. While this event is free, they ask that participants register and consider and optional $10 donation that will go directly to the school garden programs visited on the tour. 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. For more information or to register, please click here.
