You are invited to participate in the Patchwork Garden Tour. The owners of this amazing garden have spent 19 years creating various gardens surrounding their abode. There are multiple gardens including a native garden which has gaillardia, daisies, bear grass, cactus, Jupiter’s beard, and lavender. The Cottage Garden area has roses, delphinium, cone flowers, salvia, hydrangeas and Rocky Mountain columbine. The Zen Garden includes Korean lilac, Empress Wu Hosta, Japanese Maple, Japanese Flowering Quince, Siberian Iris, and peonies. There is a mountain meadow garden with blue spruce, pinon, aspens, blue gramma grass and wildflowers. The house is surrounded by native shrubs and trees including pinon and ponderosa Pine, White Fir, Blue Spruce, Serviceberry and Rocky Mountain sugar maple. There is also an orchard, vegetable garden as well as a vineyard. You will also be able to tour the owner’s art studio on the property.
This year we are requesting a modest $10 registration fee from members to attend each of these tours as a means of fundraising. The funds raised will benefit the operations of the club and will provide resources for community projects. Each member will be encouraged to bring one non-paying guest to attend each tour in the hopes that this exposure will incentivize increased membership. There will be a need for up to 3 docents. If you sign up as a docent, you will not pay $10 and you will assist with parking and/or guiding visitors around the garden.
Reservations will open 2 weeks before the tour.
