Soroptimist of Sacramento

Grow it and eat it! Edible gardens are springing up everywhere.

Experience six uniquely different edible gardens in homes in East Sacramento on Saturday, September 10, 2011 from 10am-4pm as Soroptimist International of Sacramento, Inc. (SIS) holds the Sacramento area's first-ever Edible Gardens Tour.

Each of the six gardens on the tour will have a different theme, some with something unique for attendees to taste:

Heirloom tomato tasting
More than 100 varieties of fruit grafted on to 40 trees
French intensive garden
Year-round kitchen garden featuring herb and grape tasting
Front yard edible landscape gardens
Music in various gardens during the day by Sacramento Symphonic Winds

Attendees will enjoy various entertainment in the gardens, have a chance to talk with Master Gardeners, and win fabulous raffle prizes.

All proceeds from the Edible Gardens Tour support local charities that benefit women and children.
SIS' current service projects focus on foster youth. The California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) Guardian Scholars Program is our main charity for 2011-2012. In this program college students, who were in the foster system, mentor high school foster youth and present them with career path options.
