Join us for an enriching and immersive journey into the world of urban agriculture with our Kitchen Garden Walk and Workshop. This unique experience begins with a tour of 2-3 meticulously maintained kitchen gardens, where you'll witness the beauty and practicality of growing food in urban settings. Each garden tells its own story of sustainable living and green practices, offering insights and inspiration.

Following the garden visits, we will proceed to the vibrant Edible Routes community farm in Chattarpur. Here, you will dive into hands-on activities that deepen your understanding of food cultivation. You will learn about the intricacies of growing your own food and discover the inner workings of the Farmlet community. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with fellow urban agriculture enthusiasts and learn from experts in the field.

The highlight of our journey is a delightful 'Farm to Table' lunch, served right at the farm. Indulge in a meal that is as fresh as it gets, celebrating the flavors and nourishment that only locally-grown, organic produce can provide. This lunch is not just a meal; it is a testament to the sustainable, healthy lifestyle championed by Edible Routes.

Whether you are a gardening novice or a seasoned green thumb, the Kitchen Garden Walk and Workshop promises a day of learning, discovery, and culinary delight, all while connecting more deeply with the earth and our community.
