Garden leader training: adaptive gardening through a therapeutic lens
Evening training for Denver Urban Gardens Garden Leaders on adaptive and therapeutic gardening techniques — how to support gardeners of all abilities at community gardens.
Why we picked this
An evening training on how to make community gardens actually accessible — useful for anyone who manages a garden plot or wants to be the kind of volunteer who makes a space work for everyone.
This session is part of Denver Urban Gardens’ Garden Leader training series — monthly workshops that build skills for people who manage community garden spaces. April’s topic is adaptive and therapeutic gardening: how to design and manage growing spaces that work for gardeners with physical limitations, and what therapeutic horticulture actually means in a community garden context.
The session runs one hour, starting at 6:30 PM at Horse Barn Community Garden in RiNo (1031 33rd St). No previous garden leadership experience is required to attend. Register through the DUG events page.
DUG supports over 180 community gardens across Denver, and the Garden Leader program is how they develop the volunteers who keep those gardens running. This particular training is especially useful for anyone who wants their garden community to be genuinely welcoming — not just accessible in theory.
