Of DUG's more than 180 community gardens, 68 are located on the grounds of schools, with one to three new school gardens in various stages of planning each year. DUG is committed to supporting each community garden in ways appropriate to that garden's particular needs, including developing a partnership between the school community and surrounding neighbors to strengthen garden sustainability.

Lessons utilize the school-based community garden as a learning environment;School Garden Cultivator Volunteer Program: our work in school gardens is enhanced when it is supported by a committed group of volunteers, which might include on-site community gardeners, parents, grandparents or neighbors; Youth Farm Stands: In partnership with Slow Food Denver, Denver Urban Gardens works with local schools to coordinate youth-run farm stands.Desc
