Welcome to theCity of AuroraColorado

Community gardens are a critical component of Aurora's sustainability vision. A community garden is a shared green space created and cultivated by volunteers to grow vegetables, fruits and herbs.

Interested in starting a community garden in Aurora? The Community Garden Handbook is a resource for groups or individuals looking to build their own community garden. This handbook lays out the process, provides a single point of contact, and helps you understand city requirements. For more details, contact us at communitygardens@auroragov.org or 720.859.4407.

2021 Dig in Aurora Community Garden Competition Winners
Kudos to the Murphy Creek Community Garden for winning the  2021 Dig in Aurora Community Garden Competition, sponsored by Aurora Water and Nick's Garden Center.  

This light-hearted event among Aurora’s community gardens allows groups from across the city to meet other gardeners, get new ideas and have fun.

A panel of judges ranked the gardens on four categories – water conservation, appearance, productivity and sense of community – and selected Murphy Creek to earn the illustrious Golden Shovel award.

Congratulations to this year's winners:

Water conservation category: Hampden

Appearance category: Murphy Creek
