Upcoming Garden Conversations at Pagosa Springs Community Garden

Please join Healthy Archuleta this season to spend some time in the Pagosa Springs Community Garden, situated next to the San Juan Riverwalk, to enjoy lively conversations about gardening in Pagosa Springs.

We not only talk about the ins and outs of gardening, but we also have discussions about our local natural surroundings. The plants that grow along the river play an important part in how our gardens thrive. These trees, shrubs, grasses, and native perennials provide food and shelter for pollinators, vital to growing some of our favorite fruits and vegetables.

The community garden beds are just now in the planting phase, so it’s a good time to see how the folks are tending to the beds, what items they are planting or planning on growing, plus learning more about the community garden itself. There may even be some extra space to grow something if interested in spending time among fellow gardeners.

Come on down, bring a folding chair and a beverage, and relax in the garden. The scheduled meetings are for June 14 and 28, July 12 and 26, August 9 and 23, and September 13 and 27, from 9:00 to 10:00am (or longer if you feel like hanging out to enjoy the sunshine).
