#LOCAL

Local author Barb Gorges interviewed more than 100 experienced, enthusiastic Cheyenne gardeners, whom she calls “Garden Gossips” and credits with her own gardening successes.

Cheyenne Garden Gossip: Locals Share Secrets for High Plains Gardening Success, would make an excellent gift for any Cheyenne gardener - newbie, experienced, or otherwise!

This book contains ideas for adapting to the High Plains challenges - short season, high elevation, alkaline soil, antelope, cold, drought, hail, and wind; how to plant and take care of trees; how to have a lawn that needs little water or work, and even growing houseplants, to keep your thumb green over the winter!

HOT HOME TRENDS: PAINT IT BLACK! Black your typical vegetable, fruit, herb, and flower gardens, to introduce the reader to newer - and not-so-new gardening concepts, such as water, rock, rain, container, hoop house, straw bale, bee, native plant, raised bed, and vertical gardens!

You can find Cheyenne Garden Gossip: Locals Share Secrets for High Plains Gardening Success, at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens, Cheyenne Depot Museum, Wyoming Game and Fish Department and Wyoming State Museum gift shops as well as Riverbend Nursery, Prairie House Home Goods and the Tuesday Farmers Market at the Cheyenne Honey booth.

Black is popping up everywhere in home design, from flooring to windows. Black feature walls also are trending. Matte black finishes have become popular choices for hardware, decor, and finishes. Take a look at some of the latest trends!

BLACK-FRAMED WINDOWS Windows are coming to the forefront. A black window trim can add an industrial look to a space.

BLACK ACCENT WALLS Few paint jobs are bolder than painting a wall black. But up against lighter colors, a black feature wall could provide drama to liven up your space.

#WINTER

When you think winter in Wyoming, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For many people the answer is skiing – Wyoming boasts several amazing ski resorts, after all – but if you’re not a huge fan of strapping two pieces of wood on your feet and hurtling yourself down a mountain, what other options do you have?

1. EXPLORE OUR DOWNTOWN! Cheyenne has its own special Old West vibe, it’s true - but have you ever wandered downtown and suddenly found yourself in your new favorite store? Downtown Cheyenne has something for everyone.

2. VIEW THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS TOUR from December 10-Jan 2! Check out the awesome holiday lights throughout the city from the comfort and warmth of the Cheyenne Street railway trolley. There’s no better seat in town!

3. GO SNOWSHOEING OR CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING!

6 THINGS TO DO IN WYOMING (OTHER THAN THIS WINTER SKIING!) Cheyenne provides quick access to miles of trails for snowshoeing, remote cross-country skiing trails, and more! The trails of Vedauwoo, just 30 miles west of Cheyenne, are an ideal winter playground for non-motorized snow sports.

4. THE SNOWY RANGE gets nearly 300 inches of snow each year, so it really lives up to the name! If you feel the need for speed, pick up a snowmobiling permit in Albany County and visit some 200 miles of groomed snowmobile trails – with an additional 120 miles of ungroomed trails.

5. GO ICE FISHING at Granite or Crystal Reservoirs. Granite and Crystal are often the first to ice up in winter. You’ll find plenty of trout or perch, or head to Upper North Crow where rainbow and brown trout, splake, and grayling can often be caught.

6. BOOK A STAY in the historic little town of Saratoga, known for their healing hot springs. While the snow falls around you, stay toasty in your north pole paradise by soaking in warm mineral water coming up from the ground below.

warm cup of coffee, Java’s rich hue keeps you mindful of the moment.

Whether you’re finding joy in the simple things or nesting your home into a sanctuary, this earthy shade keeps you grounded and focused

on all things you. A minimalist look is key to letting this hue shine, so it’s important to pare down, style seamlessly, and work in varying earth tones. Adding a range of natural colors that are light and dark can also help give your space a balanced look that’s calm and quiet.
