Whittier, one of our first Slow Food Gardens, is located in the Denver Urban Gardens community garden on the school grounds. We work with Summer Scholars to provide after school and summer cooking classes and garden classes for the K-5 students. The community garden hosts a pumpkin harvest and give away each fall.
