Gove Community Garden
Gove Garden is an active community garden
known for its outdoor classroom space, including compost
demonstration areas and xeric landscaping displays.
Why We Love Our Garden:
Community Events:
Gove Garden was founded
with collaboration between Denver Urban
Gardens, Denver Recycles and Gove Community School in 1993.
Once a derelict lot known for drug dealing, the Gove
Garden is now a green oasis enjoyed by many commuters on
Colorado Blvd. In 1993, Mayor Wellington Webb presided
over the compost facility’s grand opening. Since
then, thousands of students and community members have learned
first hand about composting at this site. Each year, this
site is used for the Master Composting Program and public
composting classes.

Gardeners at this site enjoy gourmet
potluck feasts, organized workdays, and a community of
committed and long-term gardeners. Gove is one of our
most popular and high-profile gardens due to its long history
and convenient location.
