Contract Control Number:
ENVHL-202369076-00
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”):
Denver Urban Gardens
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
DUG’s programming will focus on four areas:
• Youth: Garden and nutrition education across age levels at schools, in the garden, and in community via classroom programs, garden clubs, webinars and professional learning for teachers
• Grow a Garden Program: Gardening kits containing seeds and seedlings for families to grow their own food. HFDK funds will allow DUG to target efforts in providing Grow a Garden kits to families with children in lower resourced neighborhoods.
• Community Programming for Families: Programs to support families during the gardening season in support of growing their own food and creating positive experiences for their children related to gardening within DUG Community Gardens and at home.
• Garden Activation: Providing support for 9 DUG community gardens to ensure a productive growing season. These DUG gardens can be school-based ones in Denver or in areas where there are a larger number of families participating in the gardens. On the ground support helps to inform what needs there are at a given garden and resources (educational, tools, materials, community support). We have found that with a higher level of DUG and Garden Leader support at garden level, engagement and yield goes up significantly.
