Community food garden harvest at the Governor's Mansion
Harvest vegetables at Colorado's Governor's Mansion before winter with Grow Local Colorado. Produce goes to food banks. Ages 8+, background check required.
Why we picked this
The Governor's Mansion garden planted back in May is ready for its fall harvest — gather produce bound for Denver food banks, with seeds or seedlings often up for grabs.
Volunteers help harvest vegetables at Colorado’s Governor’s Mansion and prepare the garden for winter, guided by Grow Local Colorado staff. Tasks include gathering ripe produce, weeding, and clearing plant debris using loppers or pruning shears. Harvested produce is delivered to food banks and community organizations around Denver, and volunteers may take home seeds for their own gardens.
Ages 8 and up are welcome, with youth under 16 accompanied by an adult 21 or older. A background check is required and must be submitted at least two weeks before the event. Registration deadline is October 11.
Register through the VOC website. The Governor’s Mansion is at 400 E 8th Ave in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
