Building Community with a Side of Vegetables: How Friendship Grew from Our Gardens
A group of neighbors in east Boulder joined with other neighbors to plant gardens, grow vegetables, and share gardening ideas. They did all this and so much more—they pulled together their neighborhood into a more supportive community, all while growing and sharing fresh, organic produce.

About the event
A group of neighbors in east Boulder joined with other neighbors to plant gardens, grow vegetables, and share gardening ideas. They did all this and so much more—they pulled together their neighborhood into a more supportive community, all while growing and sharing fresh, organic produce.
Learn how they did it and how to grow your own neighborhood village! The format will be a panel discussion where we discuss building a village, growing gardens, and protecting biodiversity.
We’ll share our story to inspire other communities, to show that building connection, trust, and belonging is possible right where you live. Our neighborhood garden collective is more than a place to grow food — it’s a living example of how neighbors can come together to support each other and nurture resilience in the face of challenging times.
Free and open to the public; refreshments will be served.
