This year’s Park Hill Garden Walk is set for Sunday, June 8. That’s just in time to inspire your gardening for the rest of the season. 

There are eight stunning gardens featured this year, with blooming late spring flowers, shrubs and fruit trees. You can spend the day exploring the gardens at your own pace. Expect the unexpected this year; one of the themes is the creative use of repurposed, reused and found materials. 

Attendees also have the opportunity to see other artists at work in the gardens. These include graphic artists, printmakers, water colorists, sculptors, fabric artists, glass blowers, ceramicists, metal workers and potters. Their work will also be available for purchase.

This year, garden visitors can also buy raffle tickets to win a Denver Water Garden in a Box, worth approximately $200. Raffle tickets are available at all the gardens and at the central day-of ticket location at 19th Avenue and Forest Parkway. Raffle tickets are $5, or three for $10.

The Garden Walk raises approximately $20,000 every year. Proceeds support the nonprofit Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. and its food and other programs.
