Details: 

Sister Gardens is a 1 acre vegetable and herb garden on the Aria Denver campus. Garden produce is sold at a pay-as-you-can farm stand, sold to restaurants and is distributed to Warren Village, a transitional housing facility that helps low income single parent families achieve sustainable personal and economic self- sufficiency.

We envision Sister Gardens as a community food hub – a food-producing farm, farm stand, and classroom. As food is fuel for the body, we hope to be fuel for social interaction and change. By re-purposing otherwise unused space, we hope to help stimulate the community and beautify the land. We want to embrace creative and eager minds, teaching them the value of urban farming, of nutrition, and of food justice. We want to alleviate stress and provide happiness and healthfulness through greater access to better food. We will listen and respond to the needs of the community, growing and changing with them, and giving them more control over the food that they eat. Most importantly, we want to pass along to our youth the knowledge and tools needed to ensure that the connections between farm and table and between food and health are never lost.

We are thrilled to present this action day as a collaboration of the Musical Activist Alliance, Earth Guardians, and the Front Range Permaculture Action Crew.
