Baker Community Garden

This peaceful community garden is only a block from Broadway, providing a much-needed open space in the heart of the city.

Why We Love Our Garden:

Community Events:

In Baker garden there is a strong sense of community since many gardeners live just a short walk away. This site is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Denver and many of the stately old Victorian homes have been split into multi-unit apartments. Each spring, a dedicated core of gardeners return to cultivate their plots and welcome new participants who have taken over vacant plots.

Experienced gardeners are happy to share their knowledge of planting and pitch in with watering when their “neighbors” in the garden are on vacation. Designed after an English Kitchen Garden, the plots often produce more than individual gardeners can use. Community giving includes a yearly produce donation to the Samaritan shelter and informal giving to local neighborhood families.

Beneath two mature trees, a picnic table provides a place to meet, take a break, or share extra transplants and surplus vegetables. The garden has several perennial beds and a shed with community tools.
