South Side in Bloom

A free tour of the community gardens and parks of Springfield's south side returns July 29, 2023 In recent years, the South Side of Springfield has seen a blossoming of new community gardens and neighborhood parks, which offer residents more opportunities to grow their own food, buy fresh produce at affordable prices, get exercise, or simply enjoy beautiful places. Ten of these spots will be open to the public during the free “South Side in Bloom” tour, which takes place on the last Saturday in July.
