FAQ
Can I browse a list of plants and other products before the sale begins?
Yes. Check back in August for a shopping guide. Plant availability is subject to change, and many species sell out quickly. We cannot guarantee availability of any specific varieties.
Do I have to carry my plants all the way to my car?
No! A complimentary plant valet will be available for all customers. This service allows you to drop off your plants and retrieve your vehicle without having to carry your purchases all the way to the parking garage. Plant valet attendants can also assist with loading plants into your vehicle.
Is there parking?
Free parking is available in our parking garage, accessible from either York Street or Josephine Street. Spaces are limited. Street parking is available, but please be respectful of our neighbors and observe all parking restrictions. Denver Botanic Gardens is not responsible for parking tickets. Consider using these alternate modes of transportation:
-
