Denver Urban Gardens

*Community.* It's a word that says too much and not enough. Who can define it, really? It's the sharing of interests, a listening ear, a sense of safety, a place of pride. You won't find a definition explaining how community works or why, but in the coming together there is a comforting sense of hope. You know it when you see it because community brings dramatic change. Just look to Cook Park Community Garden, a place full of active senior citizens. Or Fairview School Garden where young and old neighbors come together to sow the seeds of change. All over the Denver metro-area - in what have been called the "toughest neighborhoods," true community has taken root.
