SWIC All Nations Garden
In this garden, hope is cultivated through
educational programming for area youth, a project with Bridges
for Indigenous Development and committed community members
working together to make this garden blossom.
Why We Love Our Garden:
Community Events:
The first thing you’ll notice
about the All Nations garden are the
bilingual signs greeting all passer-bys. Everyone is
invited. Both plant and community diversity are embraced
by garden members.

There is a strong youth presence at this
site, including groups from Front Range Earth Force, Denver
Area Youth Services, Boys and Girls Club, and the Westwood
Headstart. DUG has partnered with Southwest Improvement Council
to provide services. In addition, a new project is
working to bring in members from Denver’s Native American
community. The garden will offer them a place to meet,
share native knowledge, and plant traditional crops.
At the All Nations Garden, there are indeed
many hopes for the future. The current medicinal herb
garden will be expanded. A butterfly garden is planned
with hopes to attract both butterflies and hummingbirds.
In addition, the garden hopes to add more perennial beds,
berries, permanent outdoor art, and tai chi sessions. A
pumpkin patch will also be planted by the Girls and Boys Club.
Special thanks to River of Life Christian Center for the
donation of seeds.
