Community Gardens

DUG’s community gardens are comprised of both public & private spaces. They are managed by over 300 volunteer Garden Leaders and cultivated by thousands of community gardeners.

Community gardens are a great way to grow fresh & healthy food for you and your family. Gardeners cultivate annuals (like tomatoes and pumpkin) each season, following the growing season from seed starting to putting the garden to bed.

The diversity of our gardens is reflected in their sizes, organizational structures, community cultures, and internal community agreements.

How to Participate:

Select a Grow a Garden Kit From the Options Below

All seeds are non-GMO + organic from Botanical Interests and all seedlings are organic and grown locally. Please note that some substitutions may be necessary, so the kit you order may differ slightly from the kit contents shown below.

To increase the size of this program to serve more Denver families, custom orders are no longer available for individual households. Please come to DUG’s annual Spring Plant Sale for individual varieties. We still offer custom orders for large groups, especially classrooms and human services organizations. Please email [email protected] to design a custom order for a large group (5 or more kits).

All Garden Kits come with a Organic Growing Guide that includes sample layouts for planting.

Food Forests

DUG’s food forests emerged more recently with the support of the Etkin Family in 2022. In the years following, our food forest network has expanded to over 20 locations comprised of various food-producing tree & shrub plant varieties.

Unlike community gardens, food forests are a way to provide enduring support for the community, with perennial trees & bushes that grow year after year. Anyone is welcome to these spaces, and can pick berries or nuts as they’d like.

Each unique space is supported by volunteer Tree Keepers who are trained to maintain the space and build community.
