Gray
Street Community Garden
This garden provides the only community
gardening opportunity for gardeners living in Lakewood.
Why We Love Our Garden:
Community Events:
This quiet garden is surrounded by a
community of
supportive neighbors at the end of a
cul-de-sac. The garden welcomes families, and there are
often children playing nearby or helping with the plots.
Neighborhood kids frequently drop by and are given
informal tours and tastes of garden produce. Gray Street garden
is community-oriented and plans for a garden kick-off social
and several workdays throughout the season.

Although relatively new, this garden boasts
several flowering trees, a tool shed for community tools, and
rose and raspberry bushes. The original garden leader,
Lara Merriken, is the creator of the “Lara Bar”
health bars. This garden was founded with help from the
City of Lakewood, the Lakewood Housing Authority, Denver Urban
Gardens and a group of committed local residents.
