What is the Tour des Jardins?

The Tour des Jardins is a social bicycle ride between community gardens and urban farms in Saint Paul. The event is something between an open house, a bike ride, a culinary adventure, and a social gathering to bring people together in a fun way and strengthen our network of local community gardens. Watch a recap of the 2024 TdJ.

More details

Times are approximate guesses. We want to stick to a schedule as much as possible so our host gardens can plan their day. You are welcome to join us for the whole tour, or just a few stops. Heck, you can even just do one stop if you like.

The ride: The tour will be leisurely and fun - no riders left behind. Riders should be comfortable with riding 19 miles with rest stops. Mechanics will be on hand to help if your bike has mechanical issues. However, mechanics will have limited capabilities.

Can you drive the tour? Yes! The tour is not just for cyclists. You are welcome to drive if you like. All gardens have parking close by.

Schedule:

Stay tuned for updates. If you have questions, please text 360-510-3085 or email us here. Have fun!
