The third annual Coop, Garden & Farm Tour will take place Saturday July 18th, 2015 at 9 am In NEWBURY VERMONT
(214 Pulaski St 05051)
Tickets are $5.00 (at the event) with all proceeds going to the Wells River Congregational UCC Church Food Shelf.
There are many unusual flower and vegetable gardens on the tour as well as historical houses, rare livestock, horses, hidden coops, barns and fun fowl. Meet lots of new friends on this tour and get great ideas for your own coops, gardens and farms.
The gardens are colorful, hidden, creative and flexible to change. Garden owners will give you a private look at their gardens and answer all questions.
The chicken coops have interesting histories with different breeds of poultry and are made from different materials.
There will be livestock, large and small on this tour as well as great views of mountains and meadows.
The tour will begin at the tennis courts next to the Newbury Elementary School, on the common in Newbury Village.
Tickets sell out early (at the event). We will begin the Tour PROMPTLY at 9 am. Suggested time of gathering at the tennis courts should be no later than 8:45am
This is a walking and a driving tour. We will zig and zag from place to place, none of them far from the common. Car pooling is encouraged.
Dress for the weather and boots or closed toe shoes are strongly suggested as we will be walking over uneven ground in farm environments.
Also bring water to hydrate yourselves and snacks to keep you up and moving! As usual, our Tour guide Janis plans a marathon tour and does not stop for lunch! Tour should be over around or before 1 pm, so participants can have lunch nearby at the area restaurants or Village Store...OR bring a picnic lunch to have on the common.
The Coop, Garden & Farm Tour is proudly sponsored by the Wells River Action Program (WRAP), The Fowl Friends Poultry Group, The Wells River Food Shelf and the Hens of Newbury.
