Volunteer workday at Sunshine Community Garden — Aug 16
Pull weeds, clear old materials, and tidy unused plots at Sunshine Community Garden in Arvada. Family-friendly, gloves and water recommended.
Why we picked this
A two-hour cleanup at Sunshine Community Garden in Arvada — pulling weeds, clearing old gravel and fabric, and getting unused plots back in shape.
Sunshine Community Garden’s late-summer workday focuses on cleanup: pulling weeds, removing old gravel and weed fabric, clearing out unused plots, and gathering up stray signage and tools scattered around the site. It’s straightforward, hands-on work that makes an immediate difference in how the garden looks and functions.
Bring gloves if you have them and a water bottle — snacks are a good idea too, since food isn’t provided. Wear sun protection and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Bathrooms are available on site. DUG’s Southwest Sugar Snap Peas program staff lead the session, so no gardening experience is needed.
The garden is at 5150 Allison St in Arvada, between the WIC building and the school building — look for the chalkboard sign and DUG gate marker. Park in front of the building and follow the pathway around to the garden entrance.
