     The team will set you up with a plot at a community garden. There are watering hoses and tools available at the garden.

• Garden starter kits

We provide starter kits with seeds, plant starts, and gardening tools at the beginning of the farming season.

We offer education workshops on the growing conditions in urban plots around the Denver metro area. These trainings help those with existing farming knowledge, or those new to farming. Topis include picking the crops that grow best during different seasons, managing pests, water management, and organic growing

We offer workshops on locating food resources in your community, preventing food waste, health and nutrition, and managing your SNAP benefits

Additional Services

During warmer months, we match you from an individual from the community to support you at your plot. This individual will      help prepare your garden bed, choose crops that will grow best, and help with garden tasks including weed removal,                  harvesting, and watering

• Seed Library

The team will give you access to a list of seeds that we can provide or help you find on your own
