In order to better strengthen connections between metro Denver gardeners,
we have organized our community garden network into seven Micro Networks.
Micro Networks are designed not only to facilitate events for both DUG community gardeners and local backyard gardeners
to meet but also to create inclusive garden spaces for learning with and from one another.
Micro Networks
Micro Networks are organized geographically but purposefully created without boundary lines. Home gardeners are encouraged to explore multiple Micro Network events that are located near them.
Maroon: Northside Nasturtiums
Orange: Midtown Mungbeans
Green: Southwest Sugar Snap Peas
Blue: Aurora
Coral: Southern Spicy Peppers
Purple: Central Cucumbers
Yellow: East Central Endives
2022 Micro Network Events
Join us throughout the gardening season as each of our seven Micro Networks hosts a hands-on
gardening workshop, a composting workshop, and a social event.
Locate your garden (whether a DUG or home garden!) on the map to find events near you!
