Wheat Ridge is a community that is rooted in agriculture.

There is a parallel within this narrative of farming and community that inspired our project. Wheat can not grow successfully as a single plant, the crop requires the support of the surrounding leaves and wheat stocks, the community of wheat. This reminds us of this community that has grown and supported each other from once the bread basket for the front range, to a city that continues to support development and growth. This growth did not happen overnight but was cultivated through hard work and planning. We found our inspiration for this project on the micro level of agriculture and the structures of plants. This is where we find our story, from sowing the seeds that sprouted in the soil, to the roots the community fed to grow, and the blooming of the flowers of what is now modern-day Wheat Ridge.
