PEPS planted and maintain three community gardens, the Firehouse Memorial Garden on the corner of Cottonwood and Lundy Lane, the Ponderosa Garden at the foot of Lundy Lane, and the Enduring Freedom Garden on Poplar Valley Road. These once untended areas are now beautiful neighborhood gardens.
Enduring Freedom Garden: This once weed filled, empty lot has blossomed into the pride of our mountain community. This garden was named in memory of Americans who died in the tragedy on September 11, 2001. It is also a memorial to community members who have died. Because of these dedications, this charming garden has breathed life into the community. The Enduring Freedom Garden has been the inspiration of artists who cover their canvases with our beautiful blooms each year. Relax on one of the benches, enjoy the sunshine and view the multitude of flowers in the garden.
Ponderosa Garden:
This garden near the middle fork of the Feather River is in the northeast area of Plumas-Eureka Estates. A vine-covered trellis placed in honor of the PEPS founder and artist, Shirley Williams, welcomes you to the garden. There are two park benches and a newly picnic table to sit and enjoy the beauty of the garden.
Herb Garden:
Bring your clippers and snip pieces of sage, parsley, basil, rosemary and cilantro from our Herb Garden at the Enduring Freedom Garden on Poplar Valley Road.
