Gardening in Colorado Springs

By
Real Estate Agent with The Platinum Group Realtors

With warm temperatures here in Colorado Springs gardening comes to mind.  Colorado Springs has an incredible community garden program that offers land to have a neighborhood garden.  There are currently two garden communities in Colorado Springs and they have a waiting list but now is a great time to get your name on the list.   Bear Creek Garden Association is on 21st and Rio Grande.  Here, there are plots  20 x 40 in size and only organic gardening is permissible.  On the Northeast side of Colorado Springs sits the Old Farm Community Gardens.  Smaller in size, plots here are 20 x 20 and organic gardening is recommended but not mandatory.  

If starting with a container garden on your porch, deck or patio is a better first step to digging in the dirt be sure to check out the upcoming Veggie Gardening Class sponsored by Pikes Peak Urban Gardens for tips on successful vegetables in the Colorado Springs region.  If having a personal space in your yard for a garden and/or a greenhouse is important there are great properties in Colorado Springs that offer existing garden beds or the space to build your own.  Check Colorado Springs Homes for Sale for current homes on the market.
