We were thrilled with the success of this year’s Grow a Garden program!
DUG’s Grow a Garden program offers organic seeds + seedlings, plus bilingual education materials for individuals in the Denver metro area. The goal of the program is to make at-home or community gardening accessible to anyone who wants to grow! We bundle these items into kits that can be ordered (pay-what-you-can with a free option!) early in the year and picked up in May!
Check out what we were able to accomplish this year:
-
2,000 total kits distributed
-
29,344 total plants distributed
-
9,185 total seed packets
-
3.3 million estimated total seeds distributed
Plus, this year we expanded our reach to 18 distribution sites to make pickup more accessible to individuals living in Northeast Denver!
We also want to give a big THANK-YOU to our volunteers who supported us in packing the orders, preparing the seeds, and making pickup smooth for our community.
