Title
Emerson
Community
Garden
in
2004
Date
2004
Summary
The
community
garden
at
8th
and
Emerson
Streets
in
Denver's
;
Capitol
Hill
was
started
in
1977
, on a
large
piece
of
prime
real
estate
that
covered
two
large
house
lots
.
Our
water
came
from the
fire
hydrant
that
Denver
Water
let
us
use
on a
flat
rate
[!]
.
While
we
were
worrying
about
whether
they were
going
to
install
a
meter
[they
kept
threatening
for
years]
,
Mr
.
Goldman
died
[he
was
93
or
something]
and his
heirs
decided
to
sell
the
property
, and that was the
end
of the
garden
.
Our
leader
for
many
years
was the
amazing
Yvonne
Prendergast
~
who
passed
on in
about
2007
and
who
now
has a
memorial
brick
at the
Denver
Botanic
Gardens
,
purchased
by
garden
members
.
Others
who
had
long
and
influential
tenures
as
leaders
at the
garden
were
Don
and
Gracie
Batt
.
Many
others
contributed
mightily
over
the
years
,
including
Brigitta
Dupree
,
Liz
Bliss
,
Dan
Gray
,
Doug
Hadra
,
Liz
Tucci
,
John
Durham
,
Emilia
Kaplan
,
Debbie
Kennedy
,
Lori
Jervis
,
Jim
Panzerella
,
Amy
and
Grant
Van
Pelt
,
Todd
Betterman
,
Jack
Conviser
, and
many
others
I
can't
remember
right
now
. As of
Summer
,
2012
,
ground
has
broken
on the
property
for
multi-unit
housing
.
I
joined
the
garden
in
1995
, and in
all
the
years
I
was there, the
last
five
were the
best
as
far
as
full
occupation
of
our
41
plots
, and for
enthusiastic
participation
.
We
finally
actually
had a
nice
,
operational
composting
system
, a
shed
with a
light
, and
consistent
community
maintenance
. There were
several
people
who
had
turned
their
gardens
into
showplaces
,
humbling
us
old
timers
.
