We have another exciting lineup of events for you this year!
Each year we do our best to organize fun and interesting events for you, our Garden Club members. 2024 is already shaping up to be a banner year of events, tours and speakers.
2024 Calendar of Events
January - Colorado Bluebird Project presentation with Q & A. Learn how to have productive bluebird boxes on your property. We'll leave plenty of time for a question and answer session.
February - Wine and Cheese tasting with cheeses made from member Jim Bennett's goats. This will be held in a member's home and all wine and food tastings will be provided. We ask for a $3 donation at the door, and you can order your favorite cheeses from Jim at the event!
March - past-president Dennis Volz will demonstrate best practices for seed starting using soil blocking and we'll have a speaker on strategies to protect your garden beds from hail and cold.
April - Behind the Scenes at Tagawa Gardens (tentative)
May - Tour of Colorado Garden Consulting greenhouse, gardens, and goats. There will be plants for sale (tomatoes, flowers, herbs, and more), and goat milk products (lotions, soaps etc.) for sale.
June - tentative - tour or workshop at Prairie Hill Farm Co. in Parker. Flower growing operation and event florists.
July - Tour of Master Gardener-run Hidden Mesa (just past Cobblestone on Hwy. 83 South). Hidden Mesa grows food for Parker Task Force, maintains the mini-botanic garden at the historic cabin onsite, and grows trees, shrubs, and plants for Douglas County needs. The gardens will be in full swing this month and there is a LOT to see and learn about!
August - Tour of three expert gardeners' extensive landscape and vegetable gardens. Locations to be announced.
September - tentative - behind the scenes tour of Chatfield Farms.
October - Chili Dump. Bring your best chili and dump it in with everyone else's (trust us, it tastes amazing). This is a fun way to gather with Garden Club friends and celebrate Fall.
November - no event this month
December - holiday party with thoughtfully curated gifts to be raffled off! Desserts and drinks provided by BFGC.
