The Big Green Bus Tour is a multi-city bus tour that will take Big Green to existing partner cities to host events and gather communities around the power of growing food. The purpose of this tour is to lift up stories from communities to a national audience and bring awareness to the work of local changemakers. It is also about co-designing local experiences alongside community partners to foster connection to our larger movement to get everyone in America growing food. Big Green’s bus tour will serve as an education and interactive event hub to provide the necessary resources and experiences for communities to facilitate gatherings that spark participation for people to grow food together.
