As one of our members so beautifully quoted Ms. Hopper:
“Out of gardens grow fleeting flowers but lasting friendships.”
– Beverly Rose Hopper
A letter to you from a past president of the Garden Club:
Friendship, lovely flowers and gardens are where we and all members of our community, whether here for a day or a decade, find joy and inspiration and solace in a busy world. The High Altitude Garden Club was the first club I joined as a novice gardener upon moving to the valley almost ten years ago. It is the only group I’ve stayed with for all that time! Gardening is a challenge whether you live on the plains or in the mountains and there are no finer people with whom to meet those challenges than fellow gardeners.
Informative and invigorating monthly programs; trips to other gardens public and private, nurseries, and botanic centers; and friendship: these are the stuff of the Garden Club! Picnics, brainstorming sessions and planting successes and failures are our fun. Master Gardener or novice, joy, frustration and laughter are what we share along with coffee and tea during our social time before each meeting.
The Garden Club maintains 13 civic projects in the towns of Silver Cliff and Westcliffe. Our gardens, planters and barrels are the first things visitors notice when coming to the valley. These civic projects provide beauty and joy to our community. Working on these gardens provides a chance to share tips, laughter and joy with others who want to dig in the dirt and tend the plants that grow.
If you have gardens and knowledge to share, if you seek to learn from others, if friendship and gardening give you pleasure, join us at the High Altitude Garden Club. Help us grow the gardens of our homes and our community.
