Excerpt:
Giving Grove Orchards recently announced its expansion into Denver, in alliance with Denver Urban Gardens.
Both organizations are known for their efforts in serving communities facing food insecurities. They work to develop and increase access, skills, and resources to grow healthy foods in urban spaces.
The Giving Grove—based out of Kansas City—has experienced success within the local area as well as affiliate programs in St. Louis, Omaha, Memphis, Louisville, Cincinnati, and rural areas in Kansas. The blooming company will expand to Dallas, Atlanta, and Seattle this spring with plans to add 10 more U.S. locations by 2025.
Both groups partnering in Denver will make conscientious use of the unique climate and challenging terrain, emphasizing the cultivation of in-ground and vertical food growth to provide equitable food access and urban environmental sustainability.
Planting is set to begin this spring.
