under the august moon at chatfield

Imagine a summer evening on a prairie farm: birds chattering, grasses glowing at sundown, and then the sound of music and laughter. Storytellers lead groups through the rustic setting; stroll to the historic farmhouse for appetizers and beverages (wine, beer and non-alcoholic thirst quenchers); the smell of barbecue in the warm air beckons. Fun dancing ensues and the evening ends with delicious desserts and a string quartet serenading the crowd. Wander back in time as The Associates of Denver Botanic Gardens present Under the August Moon at Chatfield.

Planting a garden this spring?

Winter is a wonderful time to visit the Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory. And purple Iris reticulata are blooming outside next to brilliant yellow crocuses--a sure sign of spring approaching. See highlights of what's blooming in March
