botanic bow wow
Denver Botanic Gardens premiers a new kind of event, geared toward "man’s best friend" and their owners. This dog-centric affair features pet-friendly vendors, informational booths and enough treat stations to keep tails wagging throughout the day. Our family-friendly event allows dogs and dog owners to play, socialize and enjoy the weather as the season transitions from spring to summer.
- Elizabeth Bublitz with Pawfriendly Landscapes will be teaching her very popular class, "How to Create a Beautiful Pet Friendly Yard." This class will begin at 10 a.m. Registration is required and the class has very limited space. Sign up today!
- Enter the dog contests such as Best Trick and Best Dog Owner Look Alike. Contest will begin at 11 a.m. Please fill out the registration form and select the category that best fits your dog. Deadline extended--All registration forms are due to specialevents@botanicgardens.org by Thursday, May 20 by 5 p.m.
- Come learn how your local police dogs are trained and work closely with police officers. Session begins at noon.
The Gardens has a tradition of greeting canine visitors with a treat, as you can see from these photos of some of our furry friends at the old Gatehouse in 2008. These days, neighborhood dogs and their owners drop by the Bonfils-Stanton Visitor Center for a doggie treat.
