DUG
Denver Urban Gardens, a Denver-based nonprofit organization, was founded in 1985 to operate and assist with the creation and management of metro-area community gardens. Primarily serving low- to moderate-income populations in urban neighborhoods, DUG provides opportunities for participants to improve their access to fresh, healthy food, learn new skills, initiate a sense of pride in their surroundings and improve their community. Over the past 26 years, DUG has helped to create 100 metro-area community gardens and small parks.. For more information, please go to www.DUG.org.
ART FARM
For the last four years Art Farm has brought together a series of outdoor community art shows featuring the works of local artists at different Denver Urban Gardens locations. Each Art Farm show corresponds to a particular stage of the garden and the size of the artwork is focused on the artistic presentation of these themes: seedlings, full bloom, and harvest. The Harvest show will feature a variety of art that complements the garden at its peak. All art is for sale and proceeds will benefit DUG.
