Description of Work Completed:
LUSH Employees went to the two Urban Peak Sites in the Denver Metro area. They prepped and planted several garden beds and herb gardens. The Urban Peak employees and clients will help maintain the gardens year round and will utilize the yield for their own consumption. The spaces will help these at-risk youth take responsibility for making sure the garden spaces succeed as well as educate them on urban ag and healthy eating.
