Illegal to Keep Cars Running Unattended
As the temperatures outside drop this winter, we will unfortunately face getting into cold cars. Many drivers will be tempted to break the law and be “PUFFERS” (puffer n. an automobile left unattended and running in cold weather). Last year hundreds of people had their  vehicles’ stolen while they were left running unattended.  It doesn’t matter if you lock the doors while the car warms up, you are still a “Puffer”.

Free Vegetable Seeds and Transplants Program

Don’t miss out on your chance to order FREE vegetable seeds and transplants. Applications are now available to Denver residents who meet low to moderate-income guidelines. Applications can be picked up at nearly 35 distribution centers (recreation centers, churches and senior centers) throughout Denver. The application deadline is Monday, February 4, 2008. Some of the seed and plant varieties include: tomato, pepper, onion, broccoli, squash, lettuce, corn, carrots, herbs and much more! Seeds are delivered to centers in March and transplants in May. To locate the distribution center nearest you, call Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) at 303-292-9900 or visit their website, www.dug.org.

Garden plots are also available in more than 70 community gardens throughout the Denver area. Garden space is limited and early sign-up is encouraged. For more information, call DUG at 303-292-9900.

The Free Seeds and Transplants Program is funded by a grant from the City of Denver Housing and Neighborhood Development Services, and is operated by DUG, a nonprofit organization.  DUG was formed over 22 years ago to help urban neighborhoods create community gardens and neighborhood-scale parks. To date, DUG has helped build and support over 70 community gardens and open space parks throughout the Denver-metro area. DUG sites provide gardeners with space to grow pesticide-free produce, improve neighborhood aesthetics and provide residents with visible examples of neighborhood achievement.
