Join Yampa River Botanic Park gardeners for Meet the Gardener, a brand-new community education series exploring a variety of plant and gardening topics. Participants will gather at the Main Entrance at 10:30 AM every other Tuesday June 10th through September 16th. From there, a member of the Park’s horticulture team will lead you to explore a new area of the Park and share their personal expertise. Topics will range from composting and soil, to native and medicinal plants, and even the mental health benefits of gardening. There’s something for everyone!
No registration is required, just come ready to learn, grow, and connect.
