Fairmont School Garden
A diversity of people work together at this
unique garden located at the Fairmont School, which has served
as an anchor in the Baker neighborhood for many years.

The Fairmont School Garden, located in the
historic Baker Neighborhood, hosts a Community Garden as well
as a Youth Garden where the youth grow food and sell it at the
Fairmont Youth Market during the summer.
 | ||
The Fairmont Garden puts on community
workdays, where school and community members are invited to
come together to work in the garden. This helps the
community gardeners and the youth gardeners build connections.
The garden currently has a new perennial
garden, five small fruit trees and a patio area, and is looking
forward to improvements over the next few years, including a
possible wildlife garden.
The Youth Garden receives funding from
LiveWell Colorado through Denver Urban Gardens. They have
volunteers and donors from Slow Food Denver and local community
members. Students from the Art Institute of Colorado
volunteer in a variety of capacities. Some of the produce
from the garden gets sold to SAME Cafe, a local donation-based
restaurant.
