Editor s note: The $1.2 million sale was finalized at the end of January.
The final act in a bitter dispute over the sale of two-thirds of El Oasis, a 43-plot garden at 3533 Quivas Street operated by Denver Urban Gardens, included a flurry of animated interjections over Zoom on January 19. The issue was no longer whether a portion of the garden in Highland would be sold the deal is set to close by the end of January but whether the city would issue a zoning permit allowing the property to be divided, ensuring that one-third of the land would remain a garden.
