Parking is on the west side alongside the railroad tracks. There is street parking near the Heritage Garden.
Annual Meeting Moments
We returned to the same venue and catering used last year with great success. It is so nice for everyone to have time to socialize, shop the silent auction and the beautiful holiday plants. Wow, we did a lot in the garden this year! The Annual Meeting Luncheon was a lovely way to enjoy the recap of all of our hard work this year.
A long list of maintenance projects were completed in 2026. Repair of the Lorelei statue and surrounding wall, replacement of rotting timbers, added breeze in the garden paths, stucco repair of the rear wall of the cottage where there were holes, resurfaced the gazebo floor, redid the peace pole, worked on drainage ditches and corrected the flow of one of the pathways through the garden. The before and after pictures drew many “oohs and ahhs”.
We also completed quite a few enhancement projects. Added flagstone under garden benches, capstones on the wall in the children’s garden, installation of a beautiful book bench sculpture that was donated by the John Francis family, moved a park bench, set up a compost bin system, built and installed the Colorado Native bed with crevice garden, added stone steps, installed a new circular trellis, enhanced signage (drone and map) and installed additional Ring cameras for enhanced security. Whew! 😅
