About COLORADO GARDEN SHOW INC (doing business as Colorado Garden Foundation)

Colorado Garden Show Inc (dba Colorado Garden Foundation) is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1958 to support horticulture across the state. Historically the organization produced the long-running Colorado Garden & Home Show and a Fall Home Show as fundraising vehicles to supply grants and scholarships for horticultural projects and students. In recent years the Foundation has expanded its grantmaking and scholarship programs statewide, supporting community gardens, healing and sensory gardens, greenhouses, farm-to-table initiatives at senior centers and schools, and horticulture scholarships for college students. In mid-2025 the Foundation transitioned operational control of its consumer shows to a commercial show producer while continuing its grant and scholarship work.
