Through community gardens in neighborhoods and at Denver schools, and through our urban community farm, our Free Seeds and Transplants Program, and our education and outreach programs, DUG is working to meet the needs of metro area residents and act as a resource for individuals and organizations in Denver and beyond. Volunteer and donor support are critical to our mission- contact us at dirt@dug.org to learn how to get involved!
