garden tour
The Garden & Art Tour typically promotes local food by pairing together local gardens and artists to showcase the talent we have in our community. With a global pandemic thrusting us into a new reality, many Revelstoke residents found themselves with extra time on their hands. Starting a garden and being empowered to grow your own food became a new hobby for many people. We visited several new and already existing small-scale growers to see how the pandemic affected their backyards (or front yards, or rooftops..) Take a look through the gallery below, you may see a neighbour or a friend proudly showcasing their newly formed or re-established love for backyard food production.
