Save La Resolana Farm's Peonies
Donation protected
We need your help to save our flowers.
We are the Trujillo's of La Resolana Farm in Pueblo, Colorado. You may know us simply as, "that place by the airport with all the peonies." We've sold peonies from our home and land for 50 years. Most Memorial Day Weekends for the past 5 decades have served as a time to gather, join and celebrate our community with our flowers and our love. We are not a commercial farm, and the money made from flowers we sell over Memorial Day Weekend barely cover the expense to grow them. We do it for tradition, for our family and for you.
But now we need your help!
We were closed in 2020 due to COVID-19 and will be closed again in 2021. And the worst news is that our flowers are at risk of dying forever due to lack of water and being unable to care for them due to COVID-19. Our family members (the folks running the farm) are overworked healthcare workers, aging elders, and/or those who live out of state. Because of the pandemic, this left no one able to properly look after the farm. With so little water or snowfall this winter, things are looking dire this spring.
If we don't address these problems soon, we will lose the flowers forever.
To save them, we need to purchase more water, and allocate it properly with drip irrigation and ditch digging. We need to buy the water, cover the costs of materials and hire helping hands to get this done in time before it's too late.
Thank you for your generosity.
