Garden dreamin': Tips for early garden plotting

Submitted by ChrisMarie on Feb 18 2016

No matter what time of year, I'm pondering and planning about growing – vegetable growing and growing my inner self.

Grow your garden: The Free Seeds & Transplants Program

Submitted by Alfredo_Mb88 on Jan 13 2016

In collaboration with Denver Urban Gardens, Anythink is providing free seeds and transplants to individuals, families, schools and community organizations based on annual adjusted gross income levels in order to ensure that everyone has access to healthy food. If you're interested in receiving these seeds and transplants, visit your local Anythink and ask for the Free Seeds & Transplants application. This year, each household can receive up to seven seed packets and four sets of transplants.
