Growing Hope is hosting Tour de Fresh, our 3rd annual Ypsi-area garden & sustainable food system tour on Tuesday, September 15th from 5-8:30 pm.  Come see that so many partners in the Growing Hope Community have done, and be inspired to get involved in gardening, urban agriculture, and other ways folks are growing food for themselves & neighbors!  Visit three sites for new four square garden families, three community gardens, and get to see the Growing Hope Center in full splendor!  Registration begins at 4 pm at the Downtown Ypsilanti Farmer's Market; we'll leave at 5:15 promptly, and end at the Growing Hope Center for a potluck.  Drop your dish off at the market when you check in.  There's also an optional pre-tour from 4-5 pm of two urban micro-farms with bees, goats, chickens, & more; come to the market between 3-4:30 for their addresses. Please RSVP to ashley@growinghope.net for the bicycle or driving version of the tour, or call (734) 786 -8401 to reserve your spot by Friday, Sept 11. Helmet are required on the bike tour!
