Gunni Grows! Gardener network
Community Gardens – Home Gardener Network – Fresh Food Donations
From beginner to expert, we have gardening opportunities for anyone in the valley interested in growing food and connecting with others who do too. If you grow at home, join our home gardening network and if you need a space, come cultivate at one of our community gardens!
Community Gardens
More friends, more food, less work—a collaborative twist on the classic community garden. Working together, we’re able to grow twice as much food.
Join one of our three community gardens, which are open to the public and provide a space to grow produce in town on common ground.
Sunshine Garden
The Sunshine Garden is a space located at the Gunnison Rec Center. We work in collaboration with the City of Gunnison Senior Meals Program. Half of the produce grown goes to the senior meal program, and the other half goes to our Backyard Harvest Food Rescue & Relief program.
There will be open garden hours, classes, events, and more. Stay tuned for more info on this amazing community garden!
This location is brought to you in part by a grant from the Gunnison Home Association.
Gunnison Rec Center, 200 E Spencer Ave
Bill’s Park
This space is a membership based Common Ground community garden. All participants cultivate the space in collaboration and the produce harvested is shared among the gardeners, as well as contributed to Mountain Roots food relief efforts. Working together, we’re able to grow twice as much food in the space with half as much work. Any level of gardener is welcome!
Bill’s Park is located at the corner of 14th & Georgia, Gunnison.
CULTIVEMOS COTTONWOOD COMMUNITY GARDEN
We began three new community partnerships at the Community Gardens, including a WIC (Women, Infants and Children nutrition program) garden club, hosting support groups with Project Hope and a collaboration with Inmigrantes Unidos to revive the Cottonwood garden, now known as "Cultivemos Cottonwood".

Home Garden Network
Prefer to grow at home?
Our Gunni Grows! Gardener Network offers Gunnison Valley-specific growing advice, garden consultations, a community message board, garden tours, supplies, and more! Whether you are brand new to growing in the valley or have already been growing here for decades, we would love to have you involved.
Join Our Movement!
Mountain Roots is ready to meet you wherever you are in your gardening journey. If you need space, you can find ground in our community gardens. If you don’t already have a garden, we can assist in getting you the infrastructure to get started. If you are already growing, you can connect further with the Gunnison gardening community and help provide fresh food for your neighbors as well.
We look forward to gardening with you. Together we can liberate our plates, and nourish the Gunnison Valley.
The Gunni Grows! Gardener Network is a free resource for the community. If you would like to support these efforts you may donate here.
