COMMUNITY Venue Garden WORK PROGRESSING

The Next Big Thing

The capstone of our Master Plan for the Durango Botanic Gardens at the Durango Public Library is the design and building of the Community Venue Garden, a public garden featuring groundcovers, native plants, and bulbs while also providing a beautiful new space for community and private events. Designed by Durango’s DHM Design, the area envisions a stage and plenty of space for lounging, reading, hanging out. We have begun work on this new garden and are anticipating completion and dedication in 2025. 

Some elements of the design shown here will almost certainly be revised as we move forward but the completed garden will reflect this vision. 


The Community Venue Garden will be anchored by a steel pergola stage, seen here under construction.  Beginning in the spring of 2026, the area will be available for both public and private events and performances.  Reservations for use will go through the Durango Public Library's room reservations system.
