The Free Seeds and Transplants Program is funded by a grant from the City of Denver Housing and Neighborhood Development Services, and is operated by DUG, a nonprofit organization. DUG was formed over 22 years ago to help urban neighborhoods create community gardens and neighborhood-scale parks. To date, DUG has helped build and support over 70 community gardens and open space parks throughout the Denver-metro area. DUG sites provide gardeners with space to grow pesticide-free produce, improve neighborhood aesthetics and provide residents with visible examples of neighborhood achievement.
