Two great, free events are happening at the West Washington Park Community Garden this weekend.

Orange Green Face by artist Ben HenryArt Farm – Harvest: Saturday, August 28th from 3:00 to 7:00
Join Denver Urban Gardens and Eric Matelski for an outdoor community art show featuring live music and artwork from Colorado artists. Beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres will be served. This event is free and open to the public!

For the last four years Art Farm has brought together a series of outdoor community art shows featuring the works of local artists at different Denver Urban Gardens locations. Each Art Farm show corresponds to a particular stage of the garden and the size of the artwork is focused on the artistic presentation of these themes: seedlings, full bloom, and harvest. The Harvest show will feature a variety of art that complements the garden at its peak. All art is for sale and proceeds will benefit DUG.

Guitar and flowers by artist Eric MatelskiGardenpalooza: Saturday, August 29th from 10:30 to 2:00
This kid-friendly event will feature activities like making your own organic pizza, a scavenger hunt, a garden toss tournament, sidewalk chalk art, and food provided by Chipotle! Gardenpalooza is hosted by
the gardeners of West Washington Park Community Garden. This event is also free and open to the
public.

West Washington Park Community Garden is located at 201 Grant Street in Denver, just across the street from the Art Students League of Denver. Click here for a map.
