The Winslow Garden Tour is a fantastic opportunity to explore the beautiful and diverse gardens of Winslow, and best of all, it’s free! Mark your calendars from 12 noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18. The tour kicks off at the Winslow Sweetland Community Garden, located at 1522 E. 2nd St. in Winslow. Maps to the other gardens will be available at the starting point on the day of the event.
Participants will have the chance to visit six unique gardens in Winslow: Winslow Sweetland Community Garden, Growing on 66, Grandma Kenna’s Secret Garden, Not-So-Boring Family Farm, Gray Bush Farm and Four Paws Micro Farm. These gardens demonstrate how gardening can transform from a simple hobby into a passion that enhances our community.
Grandma Kenna’s Secret Garden showcases the variety of plants that can thrive in different micro-climates within a backyard. Growing on 66 features an ornamental front yard and a productive greenhouse in the back. Not-So-Boring Family Farm, Gray Bush Farm and Four Paws Micro Farm are backyard growers who contribute fresh produce and other products to the Mother Road Farmers Market.
This delightful event is sponsored by the Winslow Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center and hosted by Winslow Sweetland Community Garden, Navajo County Master Gardeners of Winslow, and Growing on 66. Don’t miss this wonderful chance to see the fruits of our community’s green thumbs and get inspired for your own gardening projects!
