Urquhart Memorial Garden
The Urquhart Memorial Garden serves as a
catalyst for community, and even neighbors who don’t have
their own garden plots attend harvest festivals, donate money,
and help keep the garden looking beautiful.
Why We Love Our Garden:
Community Events:
The gardeners at Urquhart Memorial enjoy
sharing: tools, plant cuttings, extra vegetables, even life
stories. You can
find neighbors catching up with each other
and tending to their garden plots any night of the week, with
the sun setting over the mountains in the background.

Closed for several years due to
construction on I-25, the Urquhart Memorial Garden reopened in
2006. The garden was rebuilt very quickly, in large part due to
the neighborhood camaraderie and dedication toward beautifying
common properties. The area is now home to twelve thriving
plots, as well as a children’s pumpkin patch and several
relaxing sitting areas.
Exciting future developments are already in
the workings. Garden members look forward to the construction
of a park-like area with trees, shrubs, and native grasses, as
well as a mini-orchard.
