Denver Botanic Gardens proudly partners with a wide variety of corporate and community groups to support special events and volunteer projects each year.
Is your staff looking for a team-building activity during the typical workday (Monday – Friday)? Does your National Honor Society want to complete service hours together? Are you a member of a group that provides support to nonprofits in your community?
See information below on what is offered each year at Denver Botanic Gardens (Denver) and Chatfield Farms (Littleton) locations. Our biggest need for volunteer groups is supporting our special events.
