Sensory Garden Guided Open Access

Occurs weekly on Sunday and Friday until October 30, 2022.

Overview

Come enjoy guided access to our Sensory Garden from 11 am to 2 pm! The garden is an accessible outdoor space for visitors of all ages and abilities to engage with and enjoy plants that evoke the five senses.

The garden is open daily during regular museum hours but volunteers are present on guided open access days to answer questions and interact with visitors. Visitors may enjoy free open access to the garden on select Tuesdays through October, as part of the DAM's Free Day program. Learn more.

The Sensory Garden is located on level 1 of the Martin Building. Please enter through the Bartlit Learning and Engagement Center via the Ruby Red Workshop, or from the outside through the Prow Courtyard located on the north side of the Martin Building.

The Sensory Garden, located in the Clarence V. Laguardia Foundation Courtyard at the DAM, was constructed thanks to a generous grant from the Colorado Garden Foundation. Additional support for programming is provided by the Institute for Museum and Library Services, NextFifty Initiative, Colorado Creative Industries, and the residents who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Special thanks to our colleagues at the Denver Botanic Gardens for their contribution to the project.
