Gardens Ambassadors Needed

This spring we are eagerly anticipating the opening of our new parking structure and the Bonfils-Stanton Visitor Center. With these exciting new additions come many opportunities to become involved as a volunteer.

We are seeking volunteers to serve as ambassadors of Denver Botanic Gardens, providing an unforgettable first impression to our guests as they arrive and enter the new visitor center for the first time. We are looking for people who are positive, energetic, outgoing and passionate about the Gardens to be our voice and face to our visitors. If you are interested in applying to be a volunteer, please contact Volunteer Services at (720) 865-3560.

“I have become a Denver Botanic Gardens addict. I just cannot get enough of the wonderful people, the fun and the education I receive in one of the most spectacular settings I know. I call my time at the Gardens “therapy for my spirit and soul." – Lynn, Volunteer

“I enjoy the visitors, both seniors and school children, who make the gardens a vibrant, lively place. Goodwill, happiness and fun abound in the Gardens.” – Kristina, Volunteer

Planting a garden this spring?
We know that gardening can be
challenging given Denver
and Colorado’s high
altitude. Denver
Botanic Gardens has
created a database of plants
that thrive in our climate. And you can post your own photos!

what's blooming?

See the Gardens now!
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

York Street has a new café!
Visit Offshoots for
breakfast, lunch
or an afternoon
snack. Enjoy a
latte, surf the
Web via free Wi-Fi
(compliments of Qwest Communications), work remotely and relax in one of the cushy chairs or at the laptop bar that looks out on vistas of gardens.
