December 2024 Newsletter

A very special thank you to our sponsor for providing the hot chocolate for this event. We couldn’t do all of this without your help. Thank you

We had a wonderful turnout for the November Coffee and Crafts event in November. Here are a few pictures of their wonderful creations. The kids had a great time making “All about Thanksgiving” posters and a cute turkey. See you in February for more crafting fun!

Year in Review

The board would like to thank the community for all their support this year! We have had a great year with so many wonderful activities and events. Thank you to Isabell, our property manager at the YMCA, for putting on so many activities for our community to enjoy. Thank you also to our sponsors, we appreciate you and your willingness to contribute to our events!  A huge accomplishment this year was purchasing the recreation center from the Wheatlands Park and Recreation Authority. This transaction was a great deal for the Wheatlands community. 

We are grateful to have the recreation center facility owned by our neighborhood and love that our neighbors will be able to continue to enjoy it for years to come. We continue to have a strong partnership with AMI, which completes our covenant enforcement and truly appreciate all our neighbors who keep their homes and yards maintained throughout the seasons. We would also like to thank COX landscaping for keeping our common property looking beautiful and snow removal in a timely manner. We hope that you have had a wonderful year and have found friendship and community here at Wheatlands. 

If you have any community ideas or feedback for next year, please email us at [email protected].  

Happy New Year!  

Fall and Winter Watering

Fall and winter in Colorado includes snow and cold, but long dry stretches and warm temperatures are not unusual.

During those times, your trees and shrubs need a helping hand from you.

“The occasional hand-watering of trees and shrubs in the fall and winter is helpful. A few gallons go a long way this time of year,” said Austin Krcmarik, a Denver Water efficiency expert.

Watering during dry stretches, when there’s been no significant precipitation for about three weeks, will prevent root damage that affects the health of the entire plant.

Apply the water at the “drip line,” the area at the outer edge of the plant’s branches, so that it reaches the roots.

Water only when temperatures are above 40 F with no snow on the ground. Frozen soil won’t absorb water.

Keep moisture in the ground by putting mulch under the plant’s branches, leaving a few inches of space around the trunk of the tree or base of the plant.

The Southlands Shopping center continues to offer events and programs.

Summer Concerts, Farmers Market, Movie Nights and more.
