About the Black Forest Garden Club

Located on the northern edge of the Black Forest in Douglas County, Colorado, the Black Forest Gardening Club serves the greater Town of Parker area including Elizabeth and Franktown.

The Club welcomes gardeners of all skill levels from beginner to expert. If you are a neighbor please join us!

We build community through sharing of gardening challenges and successes; ours is a short growing season, with high altitude, deer and rabbits - and we have thriving, productive gardens and landscapes.
