"Growing Community"
-one urban garden at a time.
Community Its a word that says too much and not enough. Who can define it, really? It's the sharing of interests, a listening ear, a sense of safety, a place of pride.
You won't find a definition explaining how community works or why, but in the coming together there is a comforting sense of hope. You know it when you see it because community brings dramatic change.Just look at Ashgrove Community Garden, a place full of active senior citizens. Or Fairview School Garden where young and old neighnors come together to sow the seeds of change.
All over the Denver metro-area -- in what have been called the "toughest neightborhoods," true community has taken root
