Welcome to the Arvada Gardeners website!
Growing with the Community
A community garden is a shared space gardened by a group of people. In Arvada, Colorado, the Arvada Gardeners manage three community gardens - the main Arvada Community Gardens with 140 plots on City land and two smaller sites - at the Well House called the Delva Garden and the Andres' Community Garden - on private property.

NEW COMMUNITY GARDEN IN ARVADA
An exciting neighborhood food project has commenced in NW Arvada (Alkire & 83rd). The City of Arvada is working jointly with the community to enlarge Rose Roots Community Garden, Community Orchards, and Community Sustained Agriculture (Star Gardens). If you would like to join their mailing list to stay up-to-date on their progress please contact Kristin Muery, email: Kristin.Muery at Level3.com.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY
Our club participates in many activities within the community. From providing support for city-sponsored events to helping preserve the heritage of gardening in the area, our focus is to have fun while increasing our sense of community pride. The Arvada Harvest Festival and the Festival of Scarecrows are just two of our favorites.

SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL FOOD BANK
We support the Arvada Community Food Bank by allocating dedicated garden plots to be harvested for the Food Bank. In 2012 we donated approximately 1899 pounds of fresh produce, our best year ever. In 2015 we will encourage all members and renters to plant a little extra to help reach this goal. An on-site refrigerator provides safe and convenient storage of produce between deliveries.
