The Evergreen Garden Club (EGC) was established in 1965. Since then, club members have continuously responded to community needs for beautification at numerous public spaces. Members volunteer many hours each growing season by planting, weeding and watering. The Club and community benefit from, and appreciate the efforts of novice-through-expert gardeners working together. Below is a list of projects the Evergreen Garden Club is currently working on.

Hiwan Homestead Museum
Location: 4208 Timbervale Drive

Victorian Garden
Team Leader/s: Bev Wickland
EGC maintains the Victorian era garden in front of the museum. This garden is planted with annuals, perennials, and biennials common during the late 1800's when the ranch and log cabin were first occupied.

Herb Garden
Team Leader/s: Pricilla Chapin
This small garden is just behind the large museum sign by the front parking lot. The garden is planted with hardy herbs that flourish in our area.

Evergreen Library
Location: 5000 Highway 73
Team Leader/s: Ken Ball (thru June) then Linda Ringrose
The Evergreen Library Garden was developed through a cooperative venture of the Garden Club and Jefferson County Public Library to provide a complimentary setting for the first of Evergreen's Public Art Program sculptures titled "Planting Evergreen" by Tome Ware. The garden features minimal care, low water requiring perennials and ornamental grasses suitable to the Garden's 7107 foot elevation. Fragrant blossoms mingled with other long season beautiful bloomers produce a summer of grand color for Library Visitors.

Church of the Hills Garden
Location: 28628 Buffalo Park Road.
Team Leader/s: Tricia Scott & Lori Lapp
This garden is located at the Northwest corner of the church. It was planted in 1995 in memory of past Evergreen Garden Club president, Mrs. Mary Johnston.

Evergreen Metro Water District Garden
Location: 4671 Highway 73, by the dam.
Team Leader/s: Dale & Peggy Fetchenhier
Constructed in 1991, this garden was designed by Garden Club members at the request of EMWD. The primary focus of the garden is to provide a Xeriscape demonstration of water-thrifty plants suitable to the mountain community. Over 30 members participated in the initial planting. It is the Club's largest and most visible project.

Post Office Garden
Location: Hwy 74 Evergreen
Team Leader/s: Louise Mounsey, Karla Briggs & Connie Staponski
The Post Office Garden was reacquired the spring of 2002 and through a generous donation from an anonymous donor is in the process of being restored.

The Bergen Park Traffic Circle
Location: Bergen Park
Team Leader/s: Irma Wolf
The traffic circle garden was established during the spring of 2001. High school students prepared the area for planting and plants were purchased with donations from the local community. The EGC took over the maintenance of the garden just one year later in June, 2002. Because of good planning, most of the xeriscape plants survived the drought of 2002 with few replacements required.

Evergreen Metro District Building
Location: 30920 Stagecoach Blvd., Evergreen
Team Leader/s: Beth Feldkamp
The raised bed gardens were started in the spring of 2004. This project is in exchange for the water source provided by the Evergreen Metro District at the Bergen Park Traffic Circle.

Fire Training Center:
Location: 1802 Bergen Parkway., Evergreen
Team Leader/s & Work Crew: Nan Spence, Kathy Grider, Barbara DeCaro.
Currently in the design and development phase, this newest garden will serve as a FireWise demonstration garden at the entrance to the recently constructed administration and training facility in Bergen Park.
