Parks & Public Landscaping Advisory Board, Bee City USA Subcommittee <br />Meeting Minutes <br />December 6, 2023 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />The Committee touched briefly on the possibility of Louisville pollinator - <br />friendly garden tours. Susan noted that the Colorado Native Plant Society <br />has included Louisville gardens on its tours in the past; she will inquire with <br />the Society. The Committee should decide when to solicit and select <br />gardens and work through the necessary logistics. Perhaps a City <br />Department could sponsor (Parks, Open Space, Sustainability, Water, Fire <br />Department) the event. <br />The Committee also touched briefly on a volunteer program in Louisville <br />like that in Superior where residents worked on vacant lots to help with <br />weed management and stabilizing slopes. Josh volunteered that he has not <br />heard anything about this possibility. Susan thought that such a program is <br />probably outside the scope of the Committee. <br />Speaker Program <br />Helen will continue outreach to her beekeeping contact. Susan thought that <br />the owner of Harlequin Gardens (Michael) would be likely to speak in the <br />Committee's series. Susan will continue outreach to her dark skies contact <br />(Debra). <br />Preliminary dates available at Louisville Library: <br />Jan. 16, 22, 24, 6 PM to 7:30 PM <br />Feb. 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 28, and 29, 6 PM to 7:30 PM <br />Due to urgent needs of the community, we should consider more than one <br />presentation per month! <br />We would like to focus on the order of presentations that might best serve <br />the community, but timing is flexible: <br />Landscape Planning <br />Fire Resilience <br />Pollinator Gardens with Native Plants <br />
