The High Altitude Garden Club (HAGC) is a 501c3 non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to civic beauty and horticultural education in Custer County. Our garden club designs, funds, plants and maintains several civic projects each year including gardens at Jess Price Park, Memorial Park, Hermit Park, Custer County Courthouse and VALI Assisted Living. We planted the Tree Triangles at West Main in Westcliffe, plant and maintain the Main Street Planters in Westcliffe, and plant 37 barrels in the towns of Westcliffe and Silver Cliff.
We meet at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on 2nd Street on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 12:30 pm, unless a field trip is planned. An informative program is presented each month to help members and guests understand gardening in our region. Anyone in the community is welcome to join us. It is a great way to meet new friends, learn about gardening at a high altitude and give back to our community. Dues are $25 annually. Members are encouraged to participate in at least one community project yearly.
