For the first day of spring 2020, it seems appropriate to tell the story of a flower garden. Not just any flower garden, but one that has been special to Los Alamos for many years.

Since the days of the Los Alamos Ranch School there have been gardens near Fuller Lodge, adding color to a scene that is special to all of us and enjoyed by visitors from around the world.

As early as 1930, Helen Sulier, the Ranch School’s nurse, created a small flower garden near the Lodge and tended it for many years.

​When Ashley Pond Jr.’s attempt to start a ranch school near Watrous, NM, washed
away in a flood in 1904, the disappointment was overwhelming. He returned home
to Detroit and worked for a time in the fledgling automobile industry, but it wasn’t
long before he was drawn back to New Mexico and tried a different venture.
