Seeds of Success

The Fairview youth gardeners are sowing the "Seeds of Success" in the Sun Valley neighborhood. Watch this recent broadcast from 9News highlighting this story of hope and determination.

 

 

Community. 

It's a word that says too much and not enough. Who can define it, really? It's the sharing of interests, a listening ear, a sense of safety, a place of pride. You won't find a definition explaining how community works or why, but in the coming together there is a comforting sense of hope. You know it when you see it because community brings dramatic change.

Just look to Ashgrove Community Garden, a place full of active senior citizens. Or Fairview School Garden where young and old neighbors come together to sow the seeds of change. 

All over the Denver metro-area — in what have been called the “toughest neighborhoods,” true community has taken root.
