We also had a Flower School and Show during the Rocky Mountain “Round-Up” meeting. Each state made a beautiful arrangement.
Now, I hope I get all the states right for each arrangement!

Rocky Mountain Regional “Round-Up” Meeting
Thank you gardeners, who came from far and near to attend the Rocky Mountain Region Annual Meeting in Colorado Springs on September 12th and 13th!
It was great to see you all, and we hope you enjoyed your visit!
We had a great turn out!
Our speaker John Wesley Anderson gave an awesome presentation about the “Ute Prayer Trees of the Pikes Peak Region.”
I’m ready to go hike around the Black Forrest and find these amazing trees! Anyone else?
After lunch we toured the Chihuly show at the Fine Arts Center in Colorado Springs. WOW!

Dig and Dream Garden Club
The Dig and Dream Garden Club meets in Aurora, Colorado. Our mission is to encourage an interest in and enjoyment of the science and art of horticulture.
Some of our community outreach projects are- Maintaining the Rose Garden at Pickens Tech, the Welcome Garden at Ronald McDonald House, Fort Logan Cemetery and Centennial House.
The ongoing projects we have are to provide a Pumpkin Patch and raised beds for students to take care of at Excelsior Youth Center and participating in the Colorado Garden & Home Show.
Sounds like a fun group! And they won an award this year from the Federation for their contribution to the Penny Pines Program!
