Visiting & Volunteering

Have you been out to Treasure Island Demonstration Garden? South of Eastman Park, along the scenic Poudre River Trail, this beautiful little town garden is in full swing! Any season is a good time to view this wonderful garden, but fall is the perfect time to enjoy everything that Treasure Island has to offer. The colors will be changing and the vibrant beauty may surprise you.

Interested in volunteering? Treasure Island can use a few volunteers to get through the last couple of months this season. If you have free time between 9:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on any days Monday through Thursday, we would love to see you out here. It is a great way to spend time outdoors, meet new friends, learn gardening skills that you can use at home, and enjoy the beautiful garden.
