Tours

The Conservation Gardens and adjacent Colorado-Big Thompson Project Interpretive Area offer self-guided tours during daylight hours year-round. The gardens demonstrate water-efficient landscaping options for homeowners, commercial property owners and homeowners associations. The interpretive area is a small-scale replica of key C-BT Project features in a contemplative setting. 

The Conservation Gardens may also be toured via computer with a story map to guide you throughout additional plant and turf information.
