Dating back to 1979, West Washington Park Community Garden (WWPCG) is a community garden dedicated to sustainable organic gardening, education, and community. Currently, the garden has over 100 gardeners growing on 75 plots. Novice gardeners and master gardeners/composters come together annually to share the love of gardening from February to October.
WWPCG is located in the West Wash Park Neighborhood, across from the Art Student League of Denver at 2nd and Grant.
Gardeners at WWPCG strive to share their love of gardening and food to the community. They host public events during the year and have a hugely successful garden-wide composting system. They are also pioneering a garden-wide food donation system. Many of the community gardeners also mentor new gardeners, teach classes, and graciously donate their produce.
- Open to the public
- This garden is full for 2018

Libby | Fairview Community Garden \\"I come from Africa. I like gardening so much because my parents were farmers in my country where I was born and they had a big farm. They taught me how to work in the garden and during vacations, we would go to work in the garden with my parents. I learned how to protect the plants, the best times to plant, and how to fit everything in the garden. In my home country, we planted lots of different things: beans, sweet potatoes, bananas, cassavas.
I prefer to work in a community garden. This year, due to Coronavirus, I have more time to work in the garden because usually when I am working, I can’t come to the garden every day. I share what I grow with my friends and neighbors because I can’t eat everything I grow by myself!\\"
