Tours of Backyard Farms, Chicken Coops, & Community Gardens
On Saturday, July 31 and Sunday, August 1 tours of backyard farms, chicken coops, school gardens, and other community gardens will be offered throughout Albuquerque. This project is a collaboration amongst representatives from a variety of gardening and backyard farming-related groups in the Duke City.
The 2010 tour is an extension of the great work done in previous years by Jennifer Dwyer, KT LaBadie and others, offering tours of urban chicken coops throughout our fair metropolis. For more info about their efforts, visit www.urbanchickens.org.
The details of the 2010 tour have not yet been worked out so stay-tuned for upcoming information from Albuquerque Backyard Farms, the Gardener's Guild www.gardenersguild.org, Mid-Region Council of Governments of New Mexico www.mrcog-nm.gov, and The Source www.thesourceabq.com .
