This space tells a story of growth and connection.

Through our Yards-to-Gardens program, spaces like this are transformed into something more than just gardens. They become places for learning, gathering, and building a deeper connection to the environment and each other.

Every project reflects the collaboration between residents, volunteers, and our team — all working toward something that continues to grow over time.

Follow us to see more transformations and the stories behind them. Help us continue this work — follow and share.

As the gardens and orchard continue growing into the summer season, we’re looking for additional volunteer support throughout the week — including Saturdays.

Community volunteers help make so much of this work possible, from maintaining garden spaces to supporting educational and community-centered programs throughout the park.

There are several opportunities currently available for those interested in getting involved:

• Saturday Garden Volunteering
Assist with planting, watering, harvesting, maintenance, and seasonal garden projects while spending time outdoors in the orchard and community garden spaces.

• GardenAbility Program (High Need)
Support gardening and learning alongside participants in our Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities gardening program.
Tuesday–Thursday | 9:30 AM–12:30 PM

• General Garden Volunteers
Help with planting, garden maintenance, harvesting, and ongoing seasonal projects at various times throughout the week.

With hotter and drier weather approaching, volunteer support is especially valuable as we continue caring for the orchard, gardens, and shared community spaces.

If you’re interested in volunteering or attending upcoming workshops, you can sign up through our volunteer portal:

We’re excited to officially open vendor applications for the 5th Annual Fall Festival at Weaver Creek Park.

Join us on Saturday, October 10th from 12:00 PM–4:00 PM for one of our favorite community events of the year.

Hosted by Jovial Concepts, the Fall Festival brings together local businesses, makers, artists, families, and community organizations for an afternoon focused on connection, supporting local businesses, and enjoying shared outdoor spaces.

Last year’s festival welcomed approximately 2,000 visitors from Morrison, Littleton, Lakewood, and surrounding communities — and we’re excited to continue growing this event together.

Vendor booths are available for $75:
• Bring your own setup
• Connect directly with community members
• Share your products, services, or organization with a large local audience

Additional sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses interested in expanded visibility and community partnership opportunities.

If you know a local business, vendor, artist, or organization that may be interested, please help us spread the word by sharing this post or passing along the event flyer.

We look forward to another incredible year at Weaver Creek Park.

This week, we’re highlighting one of the people who helps make our community spaces possible — Jeannette Keyhoe.

Jeannette’s involvement as both a community member and volunteer reflects the kind of care and commitment that helps gardens grow into something much larger than planting spaces. Through her support, time, and willingness to contribute, she has helped strengthen the welcoming environment we strive to create throughout the park and garden programs.

Community-centered work depends on people who are willing to show up, lend a hand, and invest in something that benefits others. Volunteers like Jeannette help create spaces where people can learn, connect, and experience the value of growing together.

We are grateful for her continued involvement and the many ways she contributes to the community around her.

June is one of the most rewarding months in the garden.

This is the time of year when many Colorado gardens begin to grow rapidly, produce food, attract pollinators, and require a little extra seasonal care to stay healthy through the summer months.

Here are a few important June gardening reminders:

• Harvest cool-season vegetables like peas, lettuce, kale, and spinach before they bolt or go to seed
• Continue planting warm-season crops like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant to extend harvests
• Water deeply and close to the soil rather than overhead to help reduce fungus and disease
• Stay ahead of w**ds so vegetables do not have to compete for nutrients and water
• Apply organic mulch to help retain moisture and reduce w**d growth
• Water trees and shrubs during dry periods, especially during ongoing drought conditions
• Deadhead flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming throughout the season
• Consider incorporating more drought-tolerant and pollinator-friendly plants into your landscape

June is also Colorado Pollinator Month, making this a great opportunity to support bees, butterflies, birds, and other important pollinators through intentional gardening practices.

Healthy gardens are built through consistent care, observation, and a willingness to keep learning throughout the season.

Save this post for your June gardening checklist and follow along for more seasonal gardening tips, education, and community updates from Jovial Concepts.

Community impact grows through collaboration.

Jovial Concepts is proud to partner with Healthy Food for Denver's Kids (HFDK), an initiative that supports healthy food access and food-based education opportunities for Denver youth and families.

Through this partnership, young people have opportunities to engage directly with gardening, food production, environmental stewardship, and outdoor learning experiences. By connecting youth to gardens and growing spaces, we help foster skills, curiosity, and a greater understanding of how healthy food systems are built.

At Jovial Concepts, we believe that education is most meaningful when it is hands-on. Whether planting seeds, harvesting vegetables, learning about pollinators, or exploring sustainable gardening practices, youth gain experiences that extend far beyond the garden.

We are grateful for partnerships like HFDK that help make these opportunities possible and strengthen the connection between healthy food, education, and community.

Movie Night season is underway.

Join Jovial Concepts and Kendallvue on the second Friday of each month from May through September for free outdoor movie nights at the park.

Movies start at sunset, and the park opens at 7:00 pm for families and community members to gather before the film. Guests are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets and enjoy an evening outdoors together.

Concessions will be available, with proceeds supporting Kendallvue programs.

We are also currently seeking volunteers to support these events throughout the summer.

Volunteer opportunities include:
• Movie Night Crew — assist with setup, activities, and cleanup from 6:00 PM–10:00 PM on second Fridays
• Face Painters — support movie nights and other community events throughout the season

Events like these are made possible by community involvement, and volunteers play an important role in creating welcoming, family-friendly spaces for everyone attending.

Last month brought one of the most memorable moments we’ve experienced in the orchard so far — a swarm of bees gathering in the Rabbit Brush.

The sound alone was enough to stop everyone in their tracks. While seeing thousands of bees together can feel overwhelming at first, swarming is actually a natural process where part of a colony leaves to establish a new home.

After contacting the Colorado Swarm Hotline, a local beekeeper arrived quickly and safely relocated the swarm.

We’re grateful for the people and organizations that help protect pollinators and support healthy ecosystems throughout our communities. Experiences like this remind us that gardens are not just places for plants to grow — they are living spaces connected to wildlife, learning, and stewardship.

If you ever come across a bee swarm, you can contact:
