Classes at the Arvada Community Garden Meetup Group

Can you grow food and have a beautiful garden? Yes! Many food crops need pollinators, yet the flowers on the crops themselves are often not enough to support the pollinators. By designing your garden to contain both food and year-round color, you ensure not only beauty, but a continuous supply of pollen for the pollinators on which much of our food depends. You can even incorporate both flowers and color in winter with one native plant. Amy Johnson
