Earth Month is a time to reconnect with the planet, take action in our communities, and support organizations growing a more sustainable future. This April, Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) is partnering with local businesses across the Denver metro area to bring you a series of giveback events that make it easy (and fun) to support community gardens.
From seed swaps to seasonal sips, here’s how you can get involved all month long:
