The Weathered Wisdom Project

During the 2022 growing season, we gathered with elder gardeners from our community once a month to glean their knowledge & experience of gardening in Golden and area . We documented their accumulated food-growing wisdom for the benefit of the community and new gardeners and compiled it into a physical resource journal for Golden growers, new and experienced alike, to refer to for successful growing season after season.

The Weathered Wisdom Project can be purchased from the following locations:

  • Golden Farmers Market

  • Jita’s Cafe

  • Eat Pure Mountain Market

  • The Golden Museum

  • The Golden Food Bank

“Gardening is cheaper than therapy, however some massage therapy wouldn’t be amiss now and then after some digging.”
