I joined the Board of Directors of the Loveland Learning Garden in May of 2023 as the Director of Operations. I also have two kids in Loveland City Schools, and both of them have participated in Loveland Learning Garden School Day Programming. I want to thank each of you for your continued support of our organization.
It is the meaningful relationships we have built with individuals in the community, like you, that continue to make the impact of our organization possible. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are excited to continue our work together with you.
Loveland Learning Garden was so fortunate to have Laurie Flanagan as Board President for the last seven years, and I can say with certainty we wouldn’t be where we are today without the leadership and development that she brought to us—including the strong and deep relationships she made with so many people in the community—and I want to thank you again for playing a part in the ongoing development, evolution, and impact of Loveland Learning Garden on our community and the hundreds of kids who participate and benefit from our program each year.
I appreciate your ongoing commitment to Loveland Learning Garden’s mission! You can reach out to me directly at [email protected] with any questions, concerns, or feedback you may have. If we haven’t met already, I’m looking forward to meeting you this year out in the garden.
Board President, Loveland Learning Garden

At Loveland Learning Garden, we believe in the power of nature to spark curiosity, joy, and a sense of connection. Here, kids don’t just learn about the outdoors—they experience it firsthand. From planting seeds and tasting fresh veggies to exploring the magic of our nature trail, every moment is an adventure.
Our garden and trail are alive with possibilities year-round, offering hands-on experiences that bring classroom lessons to life while nurturing a love for the environment.
Our Unique Difference
Loveland Learning Garden is more than a garden—it’s a space where learning meets exploration and where nature inspires young minds. Here’s what sets us apart:
-
Recognized Excellence: Our programs are a model for nature-based education, blending fun with meaningful learning.
-
Hands-On Adventures: Kids dive into science, math, and more through activities like planting, harvesting, and exploring.
-
Community Impact: Every year, we grow fresh produce to donate to local families in need, making our work as rooted in giving back as it is in growth.
Let’s Grow Together
Whether you’re here to learn, volunteer, or support, we’d love to have you join us. Together, we’re creating lasting connections—to nature, to learning, and to each other.
