About the tour:
Join our club members as we attend Slow Food Lake Tahoe's inspiring Edible Garden Tour in Truckee. "We’ll caravan together to visit a curated selection of local, high-elevation gardens that are thriving in our unique mountain climate."
Held at 4:00 pm in the Community Room in the Tahoe Donner Northwoods Clubhouse. If the weather is nice, we'll be back at the picnic tables, or the Meadow room if the weather is bad.
** Eric and Rob from Villager are checking their schedules -early season was pretty busy for them, but they'll join us at some point!
We envision meeting once a month between April and October, and occasionally and/or virtually during the winter.
Kate Fanter, a TD resident and club founder will serve as President for the first 2 year term. Kate has lived in Tahoe Donner since 2020 and is a local Real Estate Advisor.
