MSU Denver
avocado Stonehocker Community Garden in Northglenn is looking for volunteers to help garden every Saturday morning from 9-11am.

  • Avocados are packed with nutrients most of us struggle to get enough of: fiber (good for digestion), magnesium (helps with many body processes), and potassium (linked with reduced blood pressure).
  • They can also help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, fight age-related vision problems, and improve nutrient absorption from other foods.
  • Did you know you can freeze whole avocados for 3-6 months when they’re about to got bad? Just let them thaw at room temperature for about an hour when you’re ready to eat them!
