Join ACAT’s 2026 Garden Bike Tour! Hop on your bike for our annual summer garden tour on Sunday, August 2nd as we cruise through local community gardens, food forests, and compost hubs at peak bloom! We will meet at 12:00 PM on the backside of the Lutheran Church of Hope (1847 W. Northern Lights Blvd) for a leisurely 6-mile, one-way ride showcasing amazing urban agriculture partnerships across town—including:
- the new Hope Community Compost Hub, ACAT’s Midtown Garden Depot
- In Our Backyard tiny home village garden, and the recently built Fairview community gardens
- The route wraps up around 3:30/4 PM at Nuthatch Garden in Airport Heights with celebratory snacks and drinks (provided)
You are welcome to bring a treat to share! Riders needing to return to the start can easily jump onto the Chester Creek Trail for a scenic 4-mile cruise back downstream to their cars (10 miles total), and folks are welcome to join or leave the group at any point along the way. Check out the Google Maps Route to see the full itinerary and plan your ride!
