About Colorado Garden Foundation:

Colorado Garden Foundation, a nonprofit corporation, 501(c)(3), provides funds for horticultural related grants and scholarships for the benefit of Colorado. To date, the Foundation has awarded more than $6.8 million for horticultural projects and scholarships throughout the state. Colorado Garden Foundation presents the Colorado Fall Home Show focusing on home renovation,
remodeling and sustainable living and the Colorado Garden & Home Show, the Rocky Mountain region’s largest, oldest and most prestigious consumer garden and home improvement show west of the Mississippi in February.  

For more information, visit ColoradoGardenFoundation.org,
facebook.com/coloradogardenfoundation or Twitter @cogardenfdn

***One hundred percent of every ticket sold is awarded throughout Colorado in the form of grants and student scholarships, including one four-year, full-ride scholarship to attend a Colorado institution by the Colorado Garden Foundation.  

That is amazing, as a person that works for a non-profit in Denver it is great to hear about the other fantastic non-profits in our great city.  This Colorado Garden Foundation helps students really focus on their dream of attending school.  I remember looking at all of the amazing garden’s that are set up with beautiful flowers and plants and seeing that each of the universities in Colorado partakes in those creations. 
Sounds like a great event right?  Jeremy and I have gone a number of times and we love it.  Not only does it give you great inspiration for gardening and home remodeling but it has the fun aspects of shows that we all love.  Yummy food, family activities and booths full of items that will have you preparing for spring and summer.   
Take time with the family or maybe a date day to the Garden and Home Show.  It will help you get into the Spring and Summer mood!  Get those gardening and remodeling plans ready!!  Or, just go and enjoy the time with family and friends!

You can visit the Colorado Garden and Home Show website here.

 What are your plans this weekend?  Hope to see you at the show!

    I would love to be there! We don't have many of these shows in the UK and so I'd be over the moon to attend! My boys have their birthdays this weekend so it's all about them!

    I have a friend who is just crazy about gardening! This garden and home show sounds like a great event. I can’t believe how time flies so fast and now they are having their 57th show! Thanks for sharing!

    Wow, the entire area of the convention center is massive! I bet there will be a lot of learning and information sharing in this event. If only I'm near, I will surely go. Landscape garden designing seems a subject of interest to more households.

    This sounds like such a great way to spend a weekend. My Grandmother would absolutely love this because she took to gardening and says it helps her find peace and solice. She would love to explore something like this.

    I've actually heard about this flower show, and I really want to attend this show! I can imagine how beautiful it will be to see all the flowers, plants, and more in person. Always fun to learn about new technologies used in gardening too.

    Oooh, I've never been to a garden show, but I sure would like to! They have a couple of them down here in Orlando FL every year, but I've never gone. Must look into it.
