Community food garden planting at Observatory Park
Plant vegetables at Denver's Observatory Park with VOC. Harvested produce goes directly to food banks and shelters. Beginners welcome — no experience needed.
Why we picked this
A weeknight gardening shift in a Denver park where the food you plant gets harvested and donated — and you might leave with seeds or seedlings of your own.
Volunteers will plant a vegetable garden at Observatory Park guided by Grow Local Colorado staff. The harvested vegetables go directly to food banks, shelters, and families in need around Denver. The work is accessible — no gardening experience required — and the evening time slot makes it practical for weekday schedules.
Volunteers ages 8 and up are welcome, and participants may receive seeds or seedlings to take home. Wear clothes that can get dirty and bring water. Grow Local Colorado staff will be on site to guide the planting process.
Observatory Park is in the University neighborhood at 2930 E Iliff Ave. Street parking is available nearby. This event is organized through Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado — register through the VOC website.
