Happy Hollow
The MBS board is taking important first steps towards renovating the area currently known as the Happy Hollow Children’s Garden into a reimagined Discovery Garden. We want this space to be attractive and accessible to all. Our planning team used public input, which they gathered through a survey and open house in late spring 2025, to help shape its Request for Proposals from landscape architects over the summer. This fall, the planning team has been working closely with DHM Design in Durango to develop our Concept Design for the new garden. We hope to have a final draft available for public comment in mid-December. Stay tuned!
The pathway leading down into Happy Hollow features a series of storyboards, periodically updated by our friends at the Montrose Regional Library. Every June, children gather to plant the raised beds in Happy Hollow with tomatoes, peppers, herbs and -- to feed the soul -- flowers. And every September, they return to harvest the garden and use its bounty to express their creativity.
