Our New Garden
with a little help from Colorado Garden
Don’t Miss their Spring and Fall Garden & Home Shows.
Each year, proceeds from the Colorado Garden & Home Show help cities and organizations plant trees, support improvements in many communities throughout the state, support the work of garden clubs, and help to underwrite the publication of educational brochures.
For the second year in a row DWPC has been awarded a generous grant from the Colorado Home & Garden Show, Inc. Garden Chair Mell McDonnell explains, ’These grants enable us to complete approximately two-thirds of the garden plan as designed by the landscaping firm Eco Savvy.’ This plan, and pictures of the plants to go in it, are on display at the clubhouse.
