A Silverthorne Colorado community garden board has been established and planning is underway to bring to fruition the community garden concept proposed by the Economic Development Advisory Committee's WOW Sub-Committee. One of EDAC's goals is to provide recommendations on beautification options in Silverthorne, and a community garden was determined by the WOW subcommittee to be one such option. EDAC members Larry Lunceford, Eddie O'Brien, and Marc Hogan initially brought forth the concept of a community garden in April 2007. Town Council indicated in June 2007 that if community leadership and administration, private funding, and an appropriate site plan could all be established the garden concept should be given consideration through the Town's site plan process.

Community members have begun diligently working toward this goal. Co-coordinators Linda Hrycaj and Marie Orlin are leading the garden board in their mission to create a working community garden that invites individuals and families from all backgrounds, regardless of gardening experience. The goal is to develop a hands-on garden that integrates education, creative expression, cooperation, and community spirit.

The proposed garden site is the grassy area at the southeast corner of Rainbow Drive and E. Fourth St.,across from the Silverthorne Recreation Center.
