Community gardens are wonderful assets for a community.  Consider reserving a plot NOW for this year's growing season. Be apart of a "Growing" trend!
 

Would you like to grow your own fresh produce or flower gardens, but feel you don't have enough space or time?  The GVR Metropolitan District started a community garden in 2009 within the open space at the 4000 Argonne Street location (neighboring the Marrama Elementary School) which presents you this perfect opportunity!

Call 303-307-3241 today and speak with Dee Mares, or email her at assistant@gvrmetrodistrict.com with your contact information and we can get in touch with you right away and allow for you to participate in this great community amenity!

  Stop by the District's office today and become part of this great community program!

The map above is the most recent visual of how the Community Garden has been set up.  The large plots are 24' by 24', medium plots are 12' by 24'.  Rental charges will be as follows:  $58 per large plot, $38 per medium plot.  Since this garden will be subsidized by the GVR Metro District, anyone living outside the District boundaries who do not pay property taxes to the District will be charged an additional $10 non-district fee.
Compost and tilling services are available through the District at an added charge.
