P. 15
Date: Monday 25 July FROM: Lynda Bibler Gardens and Bison Ranch
We started our day at the home built by Louis A. (Sam) Bibler. Here in this hilltop garden, soil, water, and design
have been manipulated to create scenes of colour and beauty resulting in wonderful scenes of sweeping lawns,
fountains, water birds, bulbs and annuals. A wonderful location to eat our packed lunch.
After lunch we visited Spring Brook Ranch, where in the 1990’s Sam Bibler placed a conservation easement on
1,000 acres. Currently operated by Sam’s daughter Carol and her husband Jim, the ranch they now own, raises
bison and Tibetan yak. Here we enjoyed observing these wonderful creatures. The ED Gift was a donation made
though the ranch managers to the historical horseback trail under development in the mountains.
Dinner hosting at various places this evening completed another lovely day.
