About
The Steel Roots Sculpture Garden features industrial-inspired sculptures created from reclaimed rail steel, farming equipment, and salvaged metal sourced throughout Colorado.
The rotating garden encourages visitors to slow down, explore, and interact with art from multiple perspectives. Evening lighting installations transform the space after dark.

American"Every sculpture in this garden began as something discarded—a rail spike, a rusted machine part, a forgotten piece of agricultural equipment. I am fascinated by the stories hidden inside materials that once powered communities and industries. Steel Roots explores transformation. By welding these reclaimed pieces into new forms, I wanted to show how communities continually reinvent themselves while remaining connected to their foundations. The sculptures are intentionally open and interactive because I want visitors to walk around them, discover new perspectives, and become part of the artwork's story." - Paris Richards
