Pikes Peak Urban Gardens

What We Do

We build community through unique organic gardening plots. Some have raised beds for the elderly and handicapped. Others are gardened by organizations that help feed the hungry. One has a growing dome greenhouse where community garden classes are held. Come see our demonstration vegetable garden at historic Harlan Wolfe Ranch or attend one of our monthly vegetable garden classes!

Why We’re Great!

By teaching others how to garden in this challenging climate, we are helping Colorado Springs become more sustainable. Each year over 3,000 gardeners at every level of experience attend our classes. We even partner with School District 11 to grow organic produce for the students’ lunch program in Galileo Math and Science school’s 42-foot geodesic dome greenhouse. As more people return to gardening, we are here to help.

Make A Donation
Oh my goodness... The class you taught was my students' favorite class of the semester. Some said they’ve always wanted to start a garden but didn’t even know where to begin, and this class has helped them.
