The Annual AC Garden Tour
2025
On July 17, 2025, the GCAC proudly hosted its second annual AC Garden Tour, highlighting six of the city's 20 remarkable community gardens.
The tour featured green spaces including Gardener’s Basin, Fisherman’s Park, OUR Garden, Firehouse No. 3, now the Coastal Cousins Heritage Garden, Ducktown Community Garden, The Our Lady Star of the Sea Coastal Cousins Garden, and Dover Park Avenue Garden. The groups were able to see how the 2024 gardens have expanded and how they have increased their food production for the community. Attendees had the opportunity to eat a free, fresh lunch at the end of the tour —provided by Cardinal Restaurant — using locally grown produce!
