Crested Butte
Botanic Gardens
Our Mission
To provide accessible opportunities for people to connect with the natural world and advocate for the conservation of our high-altitude environment.
​
The Vision
Crested Butte Botanic Garden is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Gunnison County, Colorado, that provides a unique opportunity for people to connect with plants and nature in a high-altitude setting. By bringing educational gardens to the community, we will display gardening practices that support native habitats as well as water and resource conservation, with the goal of inspiring people of all ages and abilities to appreciate and protect our ecosystems.​​​
​
Our Values​
We embrace the values of sustainability, conservation, accessibility and inclusivity. We will uphold these values in all our initiatives.
Shaping the future of the Crested Butte Botanic Gardens
As we establish educational gardens within the community we are also focused on securing our permanent location. While developing our master plan, we will keep the public engaged through educational programs and collaborative projects.
Three Ladies Native Garden Project
We are thrilled to collaborate with the town of Crested Butte to create an educational native display garden at Three Ladies Park. This garden offers plant identification and highlights the significance of native plants for our environment. Visit the garden at 31 Butte Ave.
