Supporting our botanical gardens means supporting the only public garden in southwest Colorado that is free, open to all, and maintained entirely by volunteers. We were an oasis for many during the pandemic and continue to guide visitors to best gardening practices and water-saving techniques.
Testimonials
- âWow, was it ever a delight to stumble across the Durango Botanic Gardens while I was visiting Durango this week. As a Master Gardener from Virginia, I was stopped in my tracks as I wandered through the gardens. They are so well designed and interpreted and I loved the diversity of the mini-ecosystems the gardens create. That it is so well integrated with the library gives it even more importance as a community resource.â

- "Really enjoyed it! :)"
- "Cool little garden space tucked away behind a huge library! Randomly stumbled across this while walking along one of the many smoothly paved walking paths Durango has to offer. Very well maintained with surprisingly many botanical for this elevation and climate.
