Big Green’s 10th Annual Glamour Garden Ball
July 25, 2026
Aspen, Colorado
Big Green is going BIG for 10 years in Aspen!
Fifteen years of growing food and growing community. Ten of those years have been spent right here, gathering in celebration of a movement you helped build.
The 10th Annual Glamour Garden Ball is our biggest celebration yet. This year's theme is Mardi Garden, and it's exactly what it sounds like: a full-on party rooted in purpose, with the people who made it all possible.
July 25, 2025. Come celebrate what we've built together. And help us grow what comes next.
ABOUT BIG GREEN
Growing Food Changes Lives.
Big Green is a national nonprofit that backs community-led growing initiatives across the country. Since 2011, we've worked alongside 500+ communities, from school gardens to urban farms to food forests, because the people closest to the challenges are also closest to the solutions.
Fifteen years in, we're just getting started. We fund. We build. We connect. And in Aspen, we celebrate our collective power to change food systems across America.
WHY GROWING FOOD?
-
Nutrition, wellness, mental health. Food is medicine, and growing it is one of the most direct ways to make it accessible.
-
Food security, affordability, and local food systems built on sovereignty and tradition. Growing food puts power back where it belongs: in the hands of the community.
-
Soil health, biodiversity, urban greening, climate resilience, and environmental education. Community gardens are doing more quiet work than most people realize.
-
Belonging, community connection, youth engagement, workforce development. When people grow food together, they build something that lasts.
This is a night to dress up, show up, and celebrate ten years of a movement you helped build. Expect a full Mardi Garden experience: color, music, flavor, and the energy of a community.
