Common Earth Community Garden
Common Earth Community Garden, in cooperation with First United Church of Arvada and Denver Urban Gardens, broke ground in May 2016, and continues to develop, (now, separately from Denver Urban Gardens). Its location is south of the church building, which is on the southwest corner of Simms and 72nd in Arvada.
With the City’s construction in 2022-2023, the open space is temporarily reduced, but the main Community Garden area is still open for use. In addition to garden plots, there is a fellowship lawn with a picnic area and shade gazebo, beehives (between the church building and the garden area), compost bins, a gathering space for education and fellowship, a bulletin board, benches, a meditative space, and perhaps eventually a small area with fruit trees (orchard).
The Upcoming Events page of this website lists many of the garden happenings, but you can also check the Community Garden’s website: CommonEarthCommunityGarden.org and Facebook page for news.
Mission statement: Common Earth Community Garden is established to grow and distribute vegetables, provide a source of wholesome food to local food banks, provide nutritional and cultural education for youth, a place of fellowship for multi-generational families, and outreach to our diverse neighbors on this shared common earth.
