GCK 2011

Refugee youth creating community with organic gardening and nutritional cooking.

Now in our third season!

We are a group of refugee youth who have been resettled in Colorado, displaced by international conflict.  We come from families with multigenerational agricultural knowledge and possess a deep desire and passion to farm again here in America.

We are determined to seek food-growing opportunities through strategic partnerships with local homeowners. In exchange for access to host yards, Growing Colorado gardeners improve yards by installing food gardens, improve soil through soil amendments, set up  composting bins, and share gardening knowledge and a portion of the food harvest with the yard hosts.  INFO@GROWINGCOLORADO.ORG
