We are thrilled to share all that we “dug into” in 2023 – it was a lot! From garden builds to team expansion and more, we were incredibly busy making a positive impact in the Denver community.
Explore the highlights:
- We had over 17,000 gardeners in our community gardens who grew over 627,000 pounds of food
- We established our 1st endowment fund
- The 3-year CAPS study we supported was officially published, noting the health benefits of community gardening
- Welcomed over 1,600 volunteers who gave over 5,800 hours of their time
- Held over 700 classes and workshops
- Distributed over 27,000 seed packets to the community
- … and much more
”The community aspect of the garden is what is so important to me. Growing food to feed myself is wonderful, but the community found here is really special.
