Denver Botanic Gardens and Kaiser Permanente have created a first-of-its-kind community supporting agriculture (CSA) program. The community farm will provide fresh local produce to Colorado families.
Made possible through a three-year, $500,000 grant from Kaiser Permanente, the CSA will operate as a community farm at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield—located at C-470 and Wadsworth Blvd. in Littleton. Shares of the CSA are sold to members of the public who then receive portions of the garden’s fresh produce during the harvest season, from June through October.
This new venture marks an important milestone: The Gardens is the first botanical garden in the country to operate a CSA program of this scale.

We had a busy morning yesterday meeting with David Coleman, Dave French and Tom Whittaker of Bridgeline (our amazing interactive Web agency). Robin Doerr and I talked with them about creating a refresh of our home page and we also saw some inspiring comps for the February redesign of our blog. After that fun and creative session, I was so energized that I stopped by The Shop at the Gardens (located in our Bonfils-Stanton Visitor Center) to check out the huge sale in progress. I was greeted by a display highlighting tons of great deals!
Couldn't resist these bargains (and my 10 percent member discount on non-sale items)!
All of the holiday food items are 75 percent off, so I picked up a few bags of

Be sure to take advantage of great weather this weekend to see the “Jurassic Gardens” Exhibit one last time. The popular exhibition runs through Wednesday, Sept. 30. Kids of all ages love hunting for these prehistoric creatures on the grounds.
You’ll find life-sized, realistic dinosaurs at our York Street location. Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield hosts giant prehistoric bugs. Come see them before the exhibit is extinct!
Concert season is over for the year both at our York Street and Chatfield locations. We had a dazzling array of talented musicians here again this year, and the Gardens have never looked better.
I wasn’t able to make it to all of the concerts, however at every show I was fortunate enough to attend I saw the same couple up and dancing in the area in front of the stage. At the second-to-last concert, I finally had the opportunity to meet these music aficionados. Rick Hum and his wife Karen, longtime members of the Gardens, along with a loyal group of friends, attend most of the concerts together. They do a little research on the various artists that play at the Gardens and talk about the artists’ backgrounds and history while enjoying their picnic dinner on the lawn before the concert.
Here are some 2009 concert reviews from Rick for you to enjoy, along with some helpful tips from him on attending concerts next year that I think you will find useful. Thanks, Rick, for your great insight. I’ll see you front and center at our first concert next year!
