During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the evolving role of Hudson Gardens, particularly its shift away from serving as a venue for local performing arts. Originally envisioned as a space for community performances, the pavilion has transitioned to hosting larger summer events, leaving a gap in the availability of small performing arts venues in Littleton. Community members expressed a desire to revive local performances, highlighting the need for a dedicated space for such events.

Additionally, the topic of membership at Hudson Gardens was addressed. While the gardens currently offer free public access, there was a suggestion to reintroduce a membership model that could provide benefits such as discounts on event tickets. The current membership primarily offers access to botanical gardens nationwide, including a partnership with Denver Botanic Gardens, but there is a recognized need for better communication regarding these benefits to the community.

The meeting underscored the importance of local arts and the potential for Hudson Gardens to play a pivotal role in revitalizing cultural offerings in the area.
