Whether you are a family of four or a family of one, Painted Prairie’s community gardens offer healthy lifestyle choices, a sense of community, and an easy way to enjoy the Colorado outdoors
Painted Prairie has two community gardens — Columbine and Indian Paintbrush Gardens. Both gardens are located within easy walking distance from anywhere in Painted Prairie. These gardens offer a place to gather, make family memories, or spend quiet time alone with your very own plot of homegrown vegetables.
Whether you are growing for your own family or to donate to a local food bank, community gardens offer more than a sustainable food source. Our community garden plots are for anyone new to urban farming and who want to connect with the outdoors in a healthy, nutritious way.
While not a new concept, community gardens are popping up all over the country, including right here in Colorado. From urban areas to the suburbs, national trends show that these small urban garden spaces are growing faster than in previous years. According to a blog post by The Trust for Public Land, in 2019, the number of community garden plots in city parks has increased 44% since the group started keeping track in 2012. Currently, there are approximately 20 community gardens in Aurora, Colorado, that provide food and community connections for residents.
It is that connection to the earth, the respite from life’s stresses, and the shear joy of growing and harvesting our own food that brings the neighborhood together at Columbine and Indian Paintbrush Gardens. Long before DIA was a blip on the radar, the early pioneers who settled this land joined together to grow their own food and live a simple, sustainable life. Our community gardens are designed to attract residents (and butterflies), and are another way Painted Prairie is tying into the agricultural roots of the community.
If you are ready to jump into urban gardening at Painted Prairie, we have a few easy steps to get you started:
If you are interested in renting a garden plot for the summer, reservations are available by contacting John with Advance HOA via email at [email protected]. Remember, gardening is fun and a great way to get to know your neighbors and enjoy the Colorado outdoors at the same time!
If you are anything like us, we are experiencing a bit of Spring Fever here at Painted Prairie. We can all feel a slight uptick in temperature as the prairie starts to wake up from its long winter’s nap. It is this time of year that our thoughts turn to longer days, and the promise that summer is just around the corner.
If you are feeling it too, then you’re not going to want to miss Painted Prairie’s first Micro Pop Up Market on Saturday, May 1, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm. Different than a traditional Farmer’s Market, and much smaller in scale, this micro market features a carefully curated selection of local vendors offering small batch craft soaps and honey, household knife sharpening, and bike tune-ups. White Rabbit Coffee is back on site with its cappuccinos and lattes to fuel your morning.
Elevated Soap Company owner, Amaia Shuter uses only the best ingredients for her additive-free soaps. All soaps are made with skin-loving oils and phthalate-free fragrances. The company also offers home fragrances and pure coconut wax and wooden wick candles. Handcrafted and filled with love, and most products are vegan.
Dan, the owner of Love 4 Bees began beekeeping in 2015 as a hobby with one beehive in his backyard. The initial goal of this first hive, was to buy a beehive and have a personal honey source. That quickly evolved into selling other beekeepers’ honey to his friends and associates. Since then, he has discovered the benefits of raw unfiltered honey was for people who suffered from pollen allergies. Now selling honey, bees wax and honeycombs to customers in and around Thornton.
Bring your kitchen knives over to the Pop Up Market for a little TLC with Colorado Knife Sharpening. Providing sharpening services for both serrated and regular blade knives, all work is done on site and returned the same day. Don’t forget about your kitchen shears and household scissors, Bob can sharpen them and have them ready for those Summer BBQs. Chipped, nicks and broken tips are also welcome for repair.
