Applewood

 

Sustainable Applewood Neighborhood Initiatives
These are just some of the projects happening in Applewood!

Community Garden at Stober Elementary
Residents are working closely with faculty, staff, Denver Urban Gardens and JeffCo School District to develop a plan for a community garden at Stober Elementary. Email SustainableApplewood@gmail.com if you would like to get involved.

Free Little Library

To encourage social connections, deepen a sense of belonging, and build “social capital” by providing a common space where doors are always open and the invitation to visit is a standing one. 

Produce and Seed Exchange

To provide opportunities for swapping and sharing of garden produce to our Applewood neighborhood. 

Urban Agriculture
To empower fellow neighbors to produce more of their own food by learning about gardening, beekeeping, and raising chickens.  We also want to enable people to learn how to responsibly harvest rainwater and greywater and setup applicable systems to do so. 

Sustainable Landscaping
To provide information to the community about ways to minimize water usage, support pollinators such as bees, maintain a landscape without using toxic chemicals, and create beautiful gardens, all while saving money, and to do this through sustainable practices such as xeriscaping, composting, choosing the right grasses, building bee condos, using nontoxic products, and the like.

Energy Conservation

To promote energy conservation and renewable energy technologies to reduce utility costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
