Photo by David Philips: "Mural Finishing Touches" - Liam Stephens-Etheridge (age 13), a participant in the Youth Mural Program, puts the finishing touches on one of the murals in the Silva Creek Botanical GardenSilva Creek Botanical Garden, a living museum devoted to native plants, will celebrate the completion of several exciting new additions on Sunday, October 12, 2025, from 2-4 PM at State and Virginia Streets in Silver City, NM. The family-friendly events include a puppet show, brief talks, and hands-on activities in botanical art, science, and archaeology. Volunteers will be on hand to explain each of the new areas, and books and outdoor sculptures will be available for sale.
The Garden is a project of the Gila Native Plant Society (GNPS) and the Town of Silver City. GNPS volunteers have been working for many years to turn a lot no longer needed by the Town into a showcase for native plants. In 2023, GNPS completed a Master Plan and began fundraising for it. Late that year, the Gila Native Plant Society received a Trails Plus grant from the New Mexico Department of Outdoor Recreation, which significantly contributed towards funding the first phase of garden improvements. The rest has been accomplished through the generosity of GNPS donors and innumerable volunteer hours implementing and then maintaining the new garden areas.
