NOELRIDGE GREENHOUSE CELEBRATING 50 YEARS

While the Parks Division has been producing flowers for public spaces in Cedar Rapids since 1930, the greenhouses at Noelridge Park just turned 50. We are celebrating this milestone this year every month by telling you about many of the programs at Noelridge Greenhouse. Learn how volunteers help us, how we create the beautiful gardens at Noelridge Park, how you can enjoy this green oasis yearround and much, much more on our blog at www.cedar-rapids.org.

The first greenhouses were built at Bever Park. They were three, 20 x 80 foot glass houses that were attached to the east side of the maintenance building that still exists. The five greenhouses at Noelridge Park opened 50 years ago and are still in operation today. It took months of moving and planting plants to prepare for the first open house on May 13 and 14, 1972. Fifty years later, we still have some of the original plants from the Bever Park greenhouses in our permanent display of tropical plants.

We grow between 40,000 and 64,000 flowers and plants annually that are planted at parks, golf courses, the airport, in planters downtown and in many other public places. The greenhouse has hundreds of types of plants with something new and interesting growing year-round.

We have a small, but extremely dedicated, crew of employees that plan flower beds, seed, plant, take cuttings, and host open houses and events. With the help of a few seasonal employees and very committed volunteers, we are able to create beautiful parks and public spaces for residents and visitors to enjoy. Learn how you can become a Friends of Noelridge volunteer on page 66.
