Dirt Magazine's Kitchen Garden Tour

See and sample beautiful home and community gardens. Learn new tips. Leave these backyards feeling inspired. Have some fun! Here's how it works: THE SELF-GUIDED TOUR: You buy your tickets. We give you a map. Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., you and your crew take a self-guided tour of local kitchen gardens in the Black Dirt, West Milford, and Skylands regions. You choose your route. Then meet up with us for a special celebratory cocktail party with local beer and wine at Mohawk House THE BUS TOUR: Let us take the wheel. Hop on the Dirt mag school bus with our Dirt Editor and garden geeks. We'll take you from one veggie patch to the next and feed you a vegetarian lunch, followed by a special celebratory cocktail party with local beer and wine at Mohawk House. The bus leaves from the Warwick Park and Ride at 10am and returns at 8pm after the party. The days ends with a celebration at farm-to-table restaurant Mohawk House at 6 p.m. -- enjoy live music, top-notch hors d'oeuvres, draft beer, and wine. Everyone votes for their favorite gardens and prizes are awarded to the winners. We all celebrate!
