Beacon Zero Waste Garden Tour

The Beacon Zero Waste Garden Tour will be held on Saturday, June 11th. The day's events will include two separate led garden tours, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Aside from enjoying the spectacular gardens of our local residents, there will be an emphasis on composting, organic pest management, and general inputs and outputs. The tour will encourage neighborly knowledge sharing to help motivate and assist residents in their organic gardening efforts and to reduce garbage output through composting. The Green Teens will lead a compost workshop. See schedule below or posters around town for details. This event is free and open to the public. Participants will have the option of traveling as a group along the tour route on bikes.
