Welcome to Englewood Gardens Of Opportunity And Peace
A Message From the Founder
As a longtime member of the Englewood community, I’ve always believed in the untapped potential here. Our journey began with the vision of transforming vacant lots into thriving gardens, providing fresh produce and fostering unity.
I am committed to empowering residents through education, creating sustainable solutions, and ensuring everyone in Englewood has access to healthy food and growth opportunities. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community.
Thank you for your support,
- Darryl Peterson
Our Mission
Our mission is to acquire and transform vacant lots in Englewood into vibrant gardens and greenhouses. By growing fresh, nutritious produce, we aim to provide the community with sustainable food sources. At the same time, we are committed to empowering local residents through agricultural education, fostering unity, and shifting negative community patterns toward hope, opportunity, and long-term growth. Through these efforts, we strive to create a more resilient, self-sufficient, and connected Englewood.
Our Impact
We started with just two garden beds, donating all our produce to the local neighborhood. This small beginning marked the start of a larger movement to create positive change, providing fresh food, fostering community growth, and inspiring a lasting impact in Englewood.
