OUR NEW HEIGHTS:
• The Community Supporting Agriculture (CSA) program celebrated its inaugural year in 2010. In the first year it produced 10,000 pounds of produce and supported 55 subscribers. Even with that, the program was still able to donate 2,000 pounds of produce to several homeless shelters in the Denver area.
• Plans for a new visitor center were completed. The Earl J. Sinnamon Visitor Center will feature offices, a small shop and enhance visitor experience. The new visitor center at Chatfield is scheduled to be completed in September, 2011 – just in time for Corn Maze and Pumpkin Festival.
• The two-day Pumpkin Festival attracted over 25,000 people in 2010. This year’s 2010 Denver Botanic Gardens Annual Report
