Please note - this blog has been updated, see the latest additions and continue to follow at this LINK. A new garden year means a fresh start, a clean palette to dream, design and do. Resolve to sign up for classes or workshops to get the brain energized and filled with the right stuff. Happy New Garden Year 2019 - let's enjoy it together!
Denver and the Front Range is very fortunate in having many free or low cost outlets for garden classes and seminars.
Below is a list with links for ones that I know of right now. PLEASE check back often, there will be many more events added to this list.
The first group - seminars, workshops and conferences charge fees unless otherwise noted. Be sure to click on each title for more sign up information and deadlines, even the free events generally require signing up.
Public and botanic gardens also charge for classes. Garden center classes are often free so check their websites for more information.
