Among the Wildflowers at Denver Botanic Gardens

Don’t miss the annual black-tie fundraiser, Féte des Fleurs

On August 23, 2019, Denver Botanic Gardens hosts the 35th Féte des Fleurs, its signature black tie fundraising event. Katie Wolfe Agron and Lizzy Morton are the co-chairs of this year’s event and G.H. Phipps is the Presenting Sponsor.

The Féte des Fleurs is a magical evening at the Gardens’ York Street site, with cocktails, dining and dancing set against the backdrop of stunning horticultural displays.  In 2018 the event raised $400,000 to support the cornerstones of the Gardens’ programs – horticulture, research and conservation, education and exhibitions.
