Silver City Garden Tour for Kids and Parents August 8th
Silver City Community Garden committee members are offering a free tour of the garden for children with their parents on Tuesday, August 8th at 10am.
Silver City’s lovely organic community garden is celebrating its 9th growing season. The garden committee members who help make the garden thrive will lead a brief tour and explain a little about how plants grow from seeds and generate seeds.
Afterward, everyone is invited to find some shade in the park and do a garden related activity. Garden committee member Renate Victor explains, "They'll find rocks, wash and paint them, dry them on tarps, spray them with a fixative, and then place them around the garden fence to deter digging critters from coming into the garden."
Location: Silver City is a small community located within both the Comstock Historic District and the Virginia City National Historic Landmark, just 3 miles from Virginia City and 12 miles from Carson City. The town's unique garden is located across the street from the Silver City School House at 385 High Street.
Over the years, the community garden has become a way for neighbors to connect and share. Renate Victor put it best when she wrote, “The real miracle of this project is the spirit of Silver City. We are a community of diverse individuals who may have little in common, but enthusiastically enjoy the things that unite us.”
The tour is part of Silver City’s annual summer arts and science public programming.
