Background Statement

Colorado Garden Show, Inc., DBA Colorado Garden Foundation, was formed in 1958 by a group of individuals to raise funds for the Denver Botanic Gardens which was also formed in 1958. To raise funds they started the Colorado Garden Show which is now the Colorado Garden & Home Show. We produce that show along with our Colorado Fall Home Show as fundraisers for our Grant & Scholarship Program. We are asking for more help through Colorado Gives Day so we can expand those programs to serve even more people in Colorado.
