Our first stop includes a walking tour of the 78th Street Heritage Farm: a sprawling 79 acre property with nearly 150 years of history and a long legacy of farming and agricultural research. Today it serves the community through the Master Gardener program, gardening classes, and support for the Clark County Food Bank.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we visit the Mabry Corrections Center Garden, which supports our community by through its corrections work-crew program\u2014offering opportunities for individuals rebuilding their lives\u2014and by donating all production to the Salvation Army food bank to help address food insecurity in our community.<\/p>\n<p>Then, just a three-minute drive away, we\u2019ll make a short stop at Clark Public Utilities, where native plant and wildflower gardens reflect a commitment beyond meeting our energy needs.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch is on your own at the Fiesta Bonita Mexican Grill &amp; Cantina.<\/p>\n<p>Our last stop is Cascade Greenhouse, a family-owned business in operation for over 40 years. Enjoy the variety of plants and serene setting as you learn how they support the broader community\u2014and the close-knit community within their own family business. A shopping opportunity will follow. <\/p>\n<p>Bring water. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable sturdy shoes. Bring a walking stick if necessary. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">DATE\/TIME:<\/span> Thursday, June 25, 2026 from 8:30 a.m.(SHARP) to 4:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #993300\">LOCATION:<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> Hazel Dell Neighborhood, address at registration.
