Connect with the Gardens While Social Distancing

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.
