Garden Project, one of the oldest community garden programs in the country, is proud to celebrate each growing season with an annual Community Garden Tour. Join us as we explore local gardens by bus, bike or foot – your choice! Tours will showcase the ways that gardens are improving health and nutrition, building community and creating a more vibrant Lansing. It is a great chance to explore the sights, sounds, and tastes of Lansing’s gardening scene, while meeting the gardeners who make it happen.
