Who's growing food in urban neighborhoods in Cincinnati? Join gardeners in OTR to tour four community gardens! You'll see how OTR residents nurture nature, grow food and connect with neighbors in an urban environment. You'll get to meet longtime garden coordinators and leave feeling inspired by the possibilities to grow your own food in an urban setting.
Gardens on the tour include:
West End Community Garden: 941 Poplar St., Cincinnati, OH 45214 (our starting point)
Pleasant Street South Community Garden: Pleasant St. & 15th St., Cincinnati, OH 45202
Pleasant Street North Community Garden: Pleasant St. & Liberty St., Cincinnati, OH 45202
OTR People's Garden: 49 E McMicken Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45202
There is free parking beside the West End Garden. From there, we'll drive to the paid lot at Liberty and Elm, then walk from garden to garden for the rest of the tour. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring some water! Garden coordinators may also provide light refreshments or garden-fresh treats for participants along the way.
