Santa Cruz Valley Farm & Garden Tour, September 12, 2010
On Sunday September 12 from 9am to 6pm, seven farms and gardens in the Santa Cruz Valley will open their fields to the public for free farm tours. The tours seek to educate people about the benefits of locally grown foods and inspire people to grow some of their own. At each of the farms and gardens, the public will be able to see what various seasonal crops are growing, such as tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers.
The participating farms are diverse and include: Avalon Gardens in Tumacácori, Forever Yong Farm in Amado, Arivaca Community Garden in Arivaca, University of Arizona Extension Service Vegetable Garden in Green Valley, Continental Elementary School Garden, and Green Valley Pecan Co. in Sahuarita.
