Community Garden

Eiber Neighborhood Association, in partnership with Eiber Elementary School and Denver Urban Gardens, is creating a community garden. Lois Witte and Jennifer Loyd, nieghborhood volunteers, are working to make a community garden a reality at Eiber Elementary (13th and Independence Streets). The garden is a wonderful opportunity for Eiber residents and Eiber Elementary students to enjoy working outside and eating fresh garden produce.
Currently, we are seeking grants to get the garden beds started. Your support is essential to our success! Please write a letter of support and either send it to Eiber Neighborhood Association, PO Box 260937, Lakewood, CO 80226, or email it to secretary.eiber@gmail.com.
