Creating public gardens for demonstration, education, and inspiration

Our Vision

Leading the way to adaptable and sustainable gardens in southwest Colorado

About Us

The Durango Botanic Gardens, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, was founded in 2010 as the Durango Botanical Society with the goal of producing one of the Southwest's premier public gardens. We are funded by donations, memberships, and ticketed events. Our gardens are maintained entirely by volunteers, guided by a volunteer board of directors. In 2024, membership has grown to 421 members.

Please note the gardens are located at 1900 E. Third Avenue, at the Durango Public Library.
