A note on selecting the perfect
Durango gardens

How do we select the perfect gardens every year?

This year, we’re letting you know, and don’t be shy; if you think your garden is one we should consider, please let us know. We’re always looking for more inspiration to share with our community of gardeners.

“He who plants a garden plants happiness.” – Chinese proverb

Here’s our formula…

  • Location

    It all begins with practical assessments. Is there enough parking and easy access to the gardens? We aim to make this an enjoyable day in every way.

  • Garden Inspiration

    Then we look for plant diversity, native plants, water-saving features, and inspiration for our fellow gardeners. It’s a joy to celebrate gardening ideas.

  • Unique Features

    Who doesn’t love a bit of a surprise in the garden with art and water features? We search for that something special opening opportunity to consider something different for your garden experience.

  • Referrals

    So often, we don’t think our gardens are tour-ready, yet from our experience, all gardens have potential. Often some of our greatest gardens have been referrals. Submit your garden today!
