Dharma’s Garden

A nonprofit project in the heart of Boulder, Colorado

Founded in 2014 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational project, Dharma's Garden has since grown into a thriving center of connection within the local community. Here, people are connected to each other—through meaningful work, seasonal festivals, and social activities. Just as importantly, people are connected to the natural world—through educational programs, hands-on activities, and immersive experiences.

Through our productive half-acre garden, lively onsite markets, popular seasonal festivals, and diverse educational programs for adults and children of all ages, Dharma's Garden is a project of the community, by the community, and for the community.

Dharma's Garden brings a direct connection to sustainable agriculture right into the heart of the city, fully integrated with the community, accessible and inclusive, offering to visitors an immersive experience that is all but lost in the modern world today.

Using organic, biodynamic, and regenerative agricultural practices, this living homestead serves as a model for ethical land stewardship, with wild areas and cultivated areas both integral to the whole.

Where does the name Dharma’s Garden come from?
"Dharma" was the name given to a baby deer born on this very same land in 2011, to the wonderment of the kindergarten students next door. We think of him every time we walk through the meadow grasses around the garden.

“And it is my opinion that each beautiful place is also a holy place.
~The Seer and The Unseen
“The way a person sees the land determines how they relate to the land.”
~Ragga Jónsdóttir
“Tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.”
~ William Shakespeare
“Land does not belong to us. We belong to the land. We are not the owners of the land. We are the friends of the land, like friends of the earth. The fundamental shift is in this consciousness that land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.”
~Satish Kumar
“We must take care, among other things, of the land, which is never a possession,  but an inheritance to the living, as it will be to the unborn."
- Wendell Berry
