Free Farms And Garden Walks

Time To Share Your Summer Harvest

By Lana Cordes

Executive Director, GPHC, Inc.

We are so excited for the return of the Park Hill Garden Walk. Sunday, June 13 is the big day, featuring eight beautiful gardens that were missed out on last year due to the pandemic.

Each garden will additionally showcase local artists and all proceeds support your favorite registered neighborhood organization — Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. The entire event takes place outside and we will be metering the entrance to each garden to ensure safe distancing. Tickets are on sale now online and in retail outlets. Check out the story and photos beginning on page 1, and the ad on page 7, for more details.

Also resuming this month on Mondays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. is our Free Farm Stand. We will be distributing free produce to anyone (yes, anyone) who can use it. Thanks to Denver Food Rescue, we will receive weekly produce deliveries from the City Park Farmers Market.

If you are a gardener with abundance, please consider dropping off your extra harvest to us and we’ll make sure it goes out to those who can use it. Our goal is to promote sharing among neighbors and food waste reduction. It’s all happening at 2823 Fairfax St. from June 7 through October.

Speaking of abundance, our food pantry has plenty of dried pasta and black beans. What we do need is the following (check out greaterparkhill.org for hours to drop off, and the days and times that the food pantry is open):

• Toothbrushes

• Toothpaste

• Mouthwash

• Shampoo

• Deodorant

• Bar soap

• Body wash

• Diapers size 5 and 6

• Dish soap

• Laundry detergent

• Ensure

GPHC’s operations are supported heavily by volunteers and almost entirely by donors. In 2021, I’m sharing a quote each month to express our gratitude for our donors and volunteers:

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill
