On Saturday, June 28, 9 am - 2 pm, the 21st Annual Boulder Garden Tour will take guests through 8 -10 unique, private gardens and homesteads in the historic Mapleton Hill neighborhood! Along the way, there will be community booths on topics related to sustainable gardening and yard care. Garden features will include vegetables, flowers, herbs, fruit trees, honey bees, native plants, natural gardens, water features, and lots of special settings and amazing views!

New this year - Garden to Table will highlight different aspects of our educational program at each garden! Students, parents, volunteers, and staff will take visitors through sample lessons and demonstrations of our 20 years of impact on over 14,000 students.

Children under 12 are free!

Headquarters will be at Mapleton Early Childhood Center, 840 Mapleton Ave, Boulder. This site will have check-in, bathrooms, food for purchase, sponsor booths, and a silent auction.
