Denver Urban Gardens has spent several decades building a robust network of community gardens across metro Denver. As the organization evolves, we have identified six pillars of our work that go far beyond gardening:
Climate Change | Community | Health & Wellness | Skill Building | Food Access | Foodways
As we go deeper into these high-impact topics, we seek to both share our voice and hear from voices working in these critical areas beyond our hometown.
We are thrilled to announce the DUG Advisory Council, composed of nationally and globally recognized experts.
Advisory Council members provide guidance and thought partnership to DUG senior leadership and lift up our work through their networks. We also ask them from time to time to engage in educational opportunities and fundraising events.
