Description
Pecos Community Garden is DUG’s original garden and was established in 1979. Four families have stuck together since the beginning to maintain the garden. It provides them with the fresh food they need and they enjoy bonding with one another. The gardeners communicate well and take good care of it. By tradition, gardeners will feed those who come to visit the garden. Garden leader Marty Roberts says, “It’s a community garden, you help one another, you help the whole garden, not just your individual plot. We all take care of each other.” Everyone looks out for one another in this garden, which thrives off of community relations.
