Prerequisite: Instructional clinic

Distance: 1.3 miles

Pace: Slow stroll

Terrain: Hard-pack path, gravel, & paved bike trail

On this leisurely stroll we’ll visit Boat Meadow Marsh, which is greening up for the season, then head to one of the Cape’s newest community gardens, where the farming is all organic, with no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We’ll follow paths around the plots, where growers like Dr. Cat’s Herbal Apothecary, Sketchy Greenhouse, Dog Patch Farm, Libellulee Botanica, & Sunbird Garden are working their magic to bring fresh products to our restaurants, farmer’s markets, and florists. Ideal for beginners, but open to all levels if the slow pace and 1.3-mile distance suit you.
