The Garden Project of Southwest Colorado

The Garden Project provides resources and services to schools and organizations interested in starting or enhancing a garden program. Services include program facilitation, on-site consultation, sharing tools and educational materials, and general support services.  Garden programs include building raised beds and compost bins, transplanting seedlings, mending the soil, companion planting, and the infamous "bug day." 


OUR OBJECTIVES:


  1. *To promote individual and community health and wellness.  

* To increase education about the environment and the connection between plants, land and culture.

* To support a sustainable local food system in which all community members will have access to nutritional and culturally appropriate food.



 

Our Mission is to build a healthier community through the facilitation of educational and therapeutic garden programs and the promotion of a sustainable local food system.
