DUG is so much more than just gardens. We\u2019re on a mission to increase the access, skills, and resources needed to grow food in community and regenerate urban green spaces.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re cultivating a sustainable urban future for metro Denver where people are connected to the earth, each other, and the food they eat.[\/nectar_highlighted_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all”

As with every year at DUG, 2023 was full of adventure. And breakthroughs.<\/p>\n
Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) continues to be a gem of metro Denver. Something for Colorado to be immensely proud of. As one of the largest independent community garden organizations in the country, a DUG site can be found in nearly every neighborhood across seven counties.<\/p>\n
Our 200 gardens continued to thrive with the baseline infrastructure initiative and a doubling down on support of our tremendous Garden Leaders. Not to mention our community of over 17,000 gardeners going strong while growing food and building community.<\/p>\n
The Etkin Family Food Forest Initiative reached its 20-site goal and started to refine its process including community input meetings, new site recruitment, and Tree Keeper training and support. With trees in the mix, DUG\u2019s impact grows exponentially. In 5-10 years we\u2019ll be producing thousands of pounds of fresh organic produce freely available to the community. These legacy installations will be in place for decades producing organic fruit and nuts while contributing to Denver\u2019s tree canopy. We couldn\u2019t be happier about the success of this new program.<\/p>\n
DUG\u2019s Food Access programming added\u00a0the Culturally Inclusive Seeds program to meet the needs of our diverse community as they seek to grow foods from their heritage.<\/p>\n
Our Education and Engagement team wrapped up our ECE teacher cohort in addition to delivering Urban Roots Workshops for all.<\/p>\n
Our\u00a0team<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0grew as we expanded to better and more completely serve our community. Our\u00a0Advisory Council<\/a>,<\/strong> DUG\u2019s trusted, nationally-recognized advisors provided guidance on issues critical to DUG\u2019s current activities and strategic evolution.<\/p>\n I had the good fortune to end the year with a trip to Australia where I keynoted the\u00a0Urban Agriculture Forum.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0It was an experience of a lifetime\u2014loads of learning and even more shared experiences. Read about my adventure\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you for your interest and support of Denver Urban Gardens. We couldn\u2019t do any of it without you \u2013 our community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With Gratitude,<\/p>\n Linda Appel Lipsius<\/strong> Cultivating Food, Community, and Climate Resilience on a Human
