Upcoming Events

Calling All Volunteers!

To all volunteers and those interested in supporting the Brunner Farmhouse and Gardens:

The mission of the Brunner Farmhouse and Gardens is to provide a community center and gathering place for all citizens of Broomfield to enjoy. The Brunner Farmhouse and Gardens is a grass roots project started more than 10 years ago to enhance interaction, reflection, and connection to our past and to sustain historical and cultural values. The Brunner Farmhouse also serves as a meeting place for more than 50 local nonprofit groups.

The majority of support for the Brunner Farmhouse and Gardens comes from volunteers and private donors. Therefore, we are looking for your help to keep this property beautiful and accessible as a civic and cultural center for all.

We are looking for volunteers to:

Adopt one of the gardens (Currently, all the gardens have been adopted). In return for your green thumb, we will place your name or business on the garden while you are responsible for maintaining it.
Donate a bench and plaque in memory of a loved one. (Benches and plaques will be similar to the flag stone bench and plaque already on the property.)
Perform basic clean up of the grounds. Help us keep the property looking beautiful!
Provide cash donations for capital projects and maintenance of the farmhouse and gardens.

Or, we would love your suggestions on how you feel that you could best give back to the Brunner Farmhouse and Gardens.

If you would like to volunteer or give your support, please call us at 303-460-6800 or bcah1973@juno.com.
