While Denver Botanic Gardens may be temporarily closed, there are still plenty of ways to experience the Gardens digitally. Here are a few ideas for how to explore the Gardens from the safety of your home.
- Online education classes and workshops for adults and children.
- From collection insight to gardening tips and botanical fun facts, our blog archives from 2008 to the present offer plenty of reading material and inspiration.
- View curated playlists on our YouTube channel. Topics include science and conservation, art exhibitions, beauty at the Gardens and Chatfield Farms.
- Break open the colored pencils or crayons and enjoy the soothing exercise of coloring our past submissions for Color Our Collections. You can print four botanical illustration coloring pages.
- Explore our preserved vascular plant collection, fungal collection and arthropod collection. These digital databases allow you to look at thousands of natural history specimens from our herbaria.
- Access Gardens Navigator to learn what is blooming now in the Denver-area and to explore plant collections in our gardens.
- Members of the Gardens can check out e-books from the Helen Fowler Library on a variety of topics including plants, fiction, cooking, herbalism, children’s stories, the environment and more.
- While they're home from school, keep your kids busy with these activities for children.
- And of course, we will continue to share interesting and beautiful content on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Would you please add me to the list for Spring Volunteer Party?
I miss my Botanic Garden friends! Could we possibly have an online version of the volunteer party if we aren’t able to party in person? Of course I miss the flowers and plants too, but I’d love the opportunity to touch base with fellow volunteers and staff!
Thank You!!
