Denver Botanic Gardens

Denver Botanic Gardens is a living museum, accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. The Gardens was incorporated in 1951 by determined citizens of Denver and has grown to become a truly interdisciplinary center for learning. Science, horticulture display, art and education each play a part in achieving institutional aims and in furthering the Gardens’ mission: to connect people with plants, especially plants from the Rocky Mountain region and similar regions around the world, providing delight and enlightenment to everyone.
The Gardens has two locations where the membership benefits may be used:
York Street, the main campus is a 24-acre botanic garden close to Denver’s center with indoor and outdoor plant displays and two herbaria. Recent additions include the Science Pyramid, the outdoor hive restaurant (open when weather permits), visitor center, parking structure, a popular children’s garden, and a greenhouse complex, complete with horticultural research lab, orangery, and two-story orchid pavilion. The Freyer – Newman Center for Science, Art & Education opened to the public in 2020.
Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms encompasses 700 acres of open space southwest of Denver, offering nature trails, native plant and vegetable gardens, trial research gardens, educational exhibits, historical farms and schoolhouse, and 50 acres of wetland and riparian zones. Chatfield Farms grows produce for the Gardens’ community supported agriculture program and multiple Gardens’ farm stands, which sell vegetables and offer nutritional education in food desert communities.
