Join Historic Boulder for a Mini-Walk through History at Long's Gardens June 11

Catherine Long Gates, the third generation manager, will lead the tour through her family business that is celebrating its 103rd year of operation in Boulder. Look back at some of the earlier endeavors Ð the old bins and jars that stored the flower and vegetable seeds sold during the first 60 years of the business, the wooden drawers in the "bulbhouse" for storing gladiolas and the "modern" tractors purchased after WWII to replace the garden horse.
The tour is free and open to the public. Meet Catherine at the gardens, 3240 Broadway, at 5:30 p.m. June 11.

Preservation decoration

For the past 11 years, Historic Boulder has celebrated the beauty of historic buildings with a lovely ornament — this year's ornament reflects the charm of Old Main, the first building of the University of Colorado and still a vibrant part of the University.
The ornaments are $25 each, including tax; a set of all 11 is $100. Ornaments are available from the Historic Boulder office at the historic Spruce Street Mansion, 1123 Spruce St., or at Art Mart on the downtown Boulder Mall, at McGuckin's Hardware at Folsom and Arapahoe and at the Boulder Bookstore, Pearl and 11th Street.
