Grow Local Colorado Gardens for the Hungry

On Tuesday night I photographed volunteers planting vegetable gardens at the Governor’s Mansion on Capitol Hill in Denver. Beth Partin's photos, Grow Local Colorado, Metro CareRingGrow Local Colorado (GLC) arranged for the food from the gardens to go to Metro CareRing, and Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado helped with the planting.Metro CareRing

I heard of the event from Dana Miller, GLC’s director (on the right), and also met Barbara Masoner (in the pink shirt) that night. Grow Local Colorado, Dana Miller, Barbara MasonerThere were several photographers and at least two videographers there. 

GLC has 14 garden plots in Denver that grow food for the hungry. If you already have a garden, you can Plant a Row for the Hungry at home.

More pictures from the planting at the Governor’s Mansion have been posted on Flickr.
