Welcome to the 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!
Join the seasonal, weekly emailing list to learn about tips, resources, and community events related to gardening in the Gunnison Valley.
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 located at the Gunnison Rec Center. We work in collaboration with the City of Gunnison Senior Meals Program. Produce grown in this space goes towards the Senior Meals Program and Mountain Roots’ Backyard Harvest program.
Join us in this garden for volunteer hours, classes, events, and more!
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. All levels of gardening experience are welcome!
Bill’s Park is located at the corner of 14th & Georgia, Gunnison.
The Living Classroom
The Living Classroom at Gunnison Community School is exactly that—a family-friendly space for people of all ages to learn, grow, and foster their relationship to the earth.
This space is utilized by both the greater Gunnison community and Mountain Roots’ Farm to School programs. Youth and adults alike can explore all levels of gardening in this lively community space.

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.
