Transition Laguna Beach, a local organization committed to promoting sustainability, will be hosting the first annual "Edible Garden Tour" on Saturday, May 28 from 9 a.m. to noon. The tour will feature mainly fruit and vegetable gardens that have been installed by Transition Laguna Beach volunteers as part of the “Food Group” efforts. “Our goal with the food group is to encourage residents to grow their own organic food so that we can reduce our dependence on peak oil, eat pesticide-free food, and promote community collaboration,” said Food Group leader Sean McCracken. “Let’s get to know our neighbors and eat good food together!”
The tour will include nine homes in close proximity to each other in the Oak Village area of Laguna Beach. Thanks to the generosity of La Vida Laguna, 50 bicycles will be available for guests to use as transportation for the tour. The tour will begin at La Vida Laguna, located at 987 Glenneyre, where a donation of $10 is requested. Tour maps will be distributed at that location.
“We hope that our Edible Garden Tour will inspire others in the community to consider growing their own food,” said Transition Laguna Beach President Lauren Sierra. “It really is fun, and a great way to spend time together.”
