The garden is part of Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) community gardens. https://dug.org/

DUG has been making an impact for over 40 years. The Cedar Hill Community Garden is part of one of the largest independent networks of food-producing gardens in the country: “DUG steward(s) 200 community gardens and food forests across seven counties in metro Denver…but DUG is about more than just gardens. We’re building an ecosystem for a thriving Denver–plot by plot, neighborhood by neighborhood.“

The vision: Feeding our community.  

The Garden is Now Sleeping. Due to the warm fall weather, the garden had an extended growing season—thank you Trustees for leaving the water on! But we have put the garden to bed. If you go into the garden you will still see some onions and garlic planted for spring (you plant these in the fall) and perennials. Our bees are still happy and pollinating. No honey yet for harvesting…they will need all their honey to get through their first winter.  

Meet a Gardener. Dixie and Gary Boker have been friends of the garden—and on the garden plot wait list—for some time. This season they revived the Tiny Hearts plot which they will take over as their plot next year and worked tirelessly in the Oasis and pollinator gardens. They are longtime members of GMUMC and excellent gardeners. Thank you, Dixie and Gary for your work and patience while on the waitlist.

Upcoming:

Donations for scholarship plots. Thank you for your past generosity. Two of the plots in the garden are scholarship plots. Scholarships will be awarded in April 2026 so if you would like to contribute for a scholarship, you can contribute $50/plot—mark you check “Garden Scholarships.” The Cedarhill garden has some of the lowest plot fees in the DUG network thanks to your support. The garden plot costs may increase for 2026 depending on the cost of water and other supplies
