There are two Denver Urban Gardens community gardens in Sun Valley. At Fairview Elementary, students, teachers, parents, neighbors, DUG staff, and Connecting Generations mentors work together in the Fairview Community Garden, and the Fairview Youth Farmers Market to create a beautiful neighborhood gathering space that is also a source of fresh, healthy produce. You can learn more about DUG’s School Garden and Nutrition Education programs here.
Jacob, a student, tends the Fairview Elementary Youth Farmers Market.
