The sun is shining, the Rocky Mountain snow is months away and it’s time to enjoy a great selection of new summer programs at Denver Botanic Gardens, at the city and Chatfield Farms locations.
The event starts with music, with the Summer Concert series continuing through this month at UMB Bank Amphitheatre at 6:30 p.m., including Judy Collins with special guest Chatham County Line on July 24 and The Mavericks with the Hogslop String Band on July 27. There’s also Evenings al Fresco on select Mondays and Wednesdays through August, staged in partnership with Swallow Hill Music. Enjoy the gardens at your own pace, 4:30–8:30 p.m., to music provided by local musicians and ensembles as they stroll and strum throughout the grounds.
The music theme continues Aug. 4, 6–7 p.m., with Garden of Sound: An Evening with Nathan Hall. The artist-composer’s electronic soundscapes provide a new perspective on the garden experience through this recording, created during Hall’s Land Line artist’s residency at Denver Botanic Gardens.
