ItemOn Saturday, August 15, the City of Rockland Energy and Sustainability Advisory Committee will host its second annual Food + Pollinator Garden Tour. The tour is free to attend and will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

All are invited to check out what’s growing in more than 10 food and pollinator gardens around Rockland.

"From edible landscapes to pollinator-friendly plots, the Rockland Food + Pollinator Garden Tour will highlight a wide range of approaches to growing food and supporting biodiversity, even in small or unconventional spaces," said the City, in a news release. 

This year, the tour includes two segments. Rockland Food + Pollinator Garden Tour participants are welcome to attend either or both tour segments, and are asked to please register to attend in advance.

-From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the first segment will be a self-guided tour of public and backyard gardens throughout Rockland. Garden tour hosts will be on-site to welcome visitors, answer questions, and share their experience—whether it's building raised beds, planting for pollinators, or managing a mixed-use garden. 

-At 2 p.m., Swell Farm will host a guided tour of their farm: a small family farm that grows cut flowers on just over an acre of farmland. description
