Community Gardens in Golden
What does community mean to you? To the people at the Golden Community Garden, that is you... to chat and get to know about you and for you to get to know other gardeners, making a circle of harmony of community. And just watching everyone growing vegetables and/or flowers with mother nature, gives such positive energy. Their goal through the community garden is to enable members of Golden's community to work together to organically grow fruits, vegetables and flowers for our families and our community. The garden will also be a green space where all Golden residents and visitors can enjoy nature's beauty and engage in meaningful conversation. They are seeking volunteers, if you are interested, please call at 720-204-1755.
If you are east of downtown Golden there is also a community garden in your area! Gardeners see the world differently. They also have more positive ratings of physical and mental health. More than 60 residents established a community garden on land owned by Applewood Church. Denver Urban Gardenshas helped them organize this coop of 24 plots of 10x13 feet. Since breaking ground on April 21, the community gardeners have turned this vacant lot into a wonderful garden. They often host open houses throughout the year and also take volunteers. Community gardens promote stronger neighborhood leadership, outreach, and volunteerism, so get involved!! For more information about the Applewood Community Garden, visit the church's website here!

Keeping Chickens in Golden
Urban Homesteading has become very popular. Golden has been the home of homesteaders for years, as you can see here. Raising chickens is one great way to make your home and garden more sustainable. Raising your own chickens supplies you with tons of healthy, tasty eggs and compost for your garden. Chickens are natural bug hunters, so there is no need to use pesticides or other bug repellents. As your chickens search for these bugs in the soil, you get natural airation too! Chickens are a fun pet for adults and children alike.
Golden now has a great brochure that walks you through the permit process. Because you will be raising farm animals within city limits, the city of Golden recommends that you discuss your plans with your neighbors and keep in mind the natural predators in the area so you can keep your chickens safe. Visit the Jefferson County Planning and Zoningwebsite with any questions you may have.

Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden
The origins of quilting are shrouded in mystery, but historians do know quilting was part of the ancient world. Quilts have been found in ancient Egypt and Mongolia, and the Crusades brought quilting to England from the East. The tradition was brought to the America's with all the settlers and the quilting you know today was born. The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in downtown Golden was the dream of long-time Golden resident Eugenia Mitchell. She wanted her collection to be both seen by the public and preserved for the future. Today, thanks to Eugenia and the hard work of devoted volunteers and generous members, the museum has become a center for the local quilting community and a must-see destination on many a Colorado vacation. In 20 years, the museum has grown into a repository for more than 500 quilts and home to the 3,000-volume Sandra Dallas Library.When you visit the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, you will explore the scope of quilting, from bedcoverings of the 1800’s to contemporary art pieces. The website notes free-entry days and the staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate without being intrusive. After viewing the amazing quilts you may have a need for a wonderfully warm quilt of your own. Luckily, the museum also sells quilts just in time for the colder weather.

Chimney Gulch Trail near Golden
Nestled beside the banks of Clear Creek, below a mountain canyon, Golden is one of the oldest and most historic cities along the Front Range. To the east, two flat-topped mesas, North and South Table mountains, separate Golden from Denver’s sprawling western suburbs, allowing it to retain its historic charm and small-town size. This trail is in the Jefferson County Open Space trail system, and is connected to the Windy Gap Trail and Park. The gulch gets its name from fast-moving wildfires that have occurred on the site. The trail climbs 2000' in 2.5 miles from Highway 6 to the summit at the Lookout Mountain Nature Center. The trail is moderate to advanced and passes through grass prairie and pine forest, crossing streams at several places. The trail can be icy in winter and is often cool in summer. The trail is popular among hikers and mountain bikers. Enjoy a hike in the morning then head down to town for a late lunch or early dinner.Make sure to visit your local outdoor retailer to pick up a guide to this beautiful trail and any other essentials you might need.

Hello, my name is Rick Myers. The Myers Team works with Keller Williams Advantage Realty to enable us to spread our reach out further.
I personally believe in the philosophy of treating my clients as though we are friends but in a professional demeanor. By stepping into a situation with complete confidence, I am able to appear relaxed and calm in my transactions.
I love the satisfaction I receive not only working with clients but working with my team. As a team we unite with a shared interest; being able to surpass clients' needs through efficiency and dedication.
One of the biggest benefits of working as a team is the availability. Instead of having one agent to accommodate your needs, you have an entire team that's ready and able to assist you at any time.
We love being able to make a difference in a person's real estate experience. Let us make a positive impact on yours!
As first-time home buyers and being new to the Denver area, we were extremely hesitant begin looking at properties. As much as we knew it made sense to buy, we were intimated and overwhelmed by the whole process. Despite our uncertainty, we met Rick for the first time, after being referred by a friend. Immediately, he made the process seem easier, and got us excited to find a home. Being equally particular and inexperience buyers, Rick was extremely patient and always had our best interest in mind. He was exactly what we needed to guide us through a very important decision in our lives. As new home owners, we could not be more happy with the way things turned out. - Kirk Shaffer
As a first time home buyer, Rick's causal approach made me feel very comfortable and at ease in an unfamilliar situation. He took the time to accurately answer any and all questions my husband and I had from start to finish. Having been frustrated even with our own selves at our "greenness" and endless indecisiveness, Rick showed us unconditional patience and a great sense of humor. I did not feel pressured or hurried at all during the whole process and I greatly appreciated that! - Alex Larson
