(EGC) was established in 1965. Since then, club members have continuously responded to community needs for beautification at numerous public spaces. The Club and community benefit from, and appreciate the efforts of novice-through-expert gardeners working together.
Hiwan Homestead Museum, Jefferson County Open Space and Jefferson County Historical Society are sponsoring a fun and fascinating 150th Anniversary Celebration at the Museum on July 4, from Noon to 3:00 p.m. The celebration will feature the High Line Cornet Band playing antique brass instruments, a special 150th Anniversary photo exhibit, old-time children’s games, an Anniversary quilt, a brochure showing “then and now” photos of the surrounding area, and other activities. Humphrey Memorial Museum and Park will be bringing their original Model A Ford to add to the fun, and Lookout Mountain Nature Center staff will present a special coyote program. Visitors can also meet “Tom Bergen” and talk with him about the 1800’s in Jefferson County. This event is free to the public.
For more information on the 150th Anniversary celebration and the various events, please contact Hiwan Homestead Museum at 720-497-7650 or e-mail at jsteinle@jeffco.us.

The Evergreen Garden Club generates funds for its community service projects principally through two activities:
The Members Plant Sale & Garden Tour
The members plant sale is held on the alternate years from the Garden
Tour.. Plants are acclimated to our altitude
and have been grown in members gardens, potted up and sold. The
money raised helps support the EGC community projects.
Community Service Projects
The Community Gardens include
7 different gardens in the Evergreen area where our members volunteer
many hours each growing season by planting, weeding and watering. |
