Chicken Coop and Urban Farm Tour
Seattle Tilth’s Chicken Coop and Urban Farm tour is next Saturday, July 14th from 10am to 4pm and I am a host! There are over 50 urban farms on the tour that are showcasing veggie gardens, chickens, goats, bees and more! Buy your tickets from Brown Paper Tickets and get the map. Come see me and my garden and as many of the other gardens as you can! I have been a host and a participant (I tend to alternate years, so I can go see gardens too), so I can say it’s well worth it!
