Guyer Garden

Guyer Garden was created to be a place

of peaceful retreat for our community

located right in the center of town.


Snuggled next to Beaver Creek,

the sights and sounds of garden

are a place to

sit and rest, meditate,

or have a quiet conversation.


Guyer Garden is dedicated
in honor of Nederland pioneers


Lois and Brownlee Guyer


In the spirit of their hospitality

Welcome!

Guyer Garden Picnic, 2007

A great fun time for the community and for us, our August picnic resulted in a huge boost to our Garden Development Fund.

Drawing of bridge, as designed

Guyer Garden features a circular pitted conversation area defined by a sitting wall tucked in and among the natural boulders The sunken area will gives the feeling of seclusion and provides a natural connection with the creek.

Natural shrubs and plantings around the conversation area serve as an environmental barrier and a visual screen. Perhaps one day we'll have a small labyrinth or other design to aid in meditation and stillness.

The bridge across Beaver Creek connects the parking lot with paths leading into the garden and conversation area. This creek crossing increases the use of city parking and serves as another link in the Nederland foot path.
