Back in 2015, a Lavender Garden was planted at Chatfield Farms. Now that the plants, more than 2,000, have come into bloom, the Denver Botanic Gardens is hosting a Lavender Festival on Saturday & Sunday, July 19 & 20, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The beautiful purple blooms should create the perfect backdrop for a day devoted to “all-things lavender”. Because tickets go fast, you should get yours now if this event is of interest.
There will be garden tours, as well as spinning and weaving demonstrations.
Buy lavender products made by local growers and artisans. Artists will be selling paintings and pottery.
Youngsters can enjoy barrel train rides, lawn games and a kids craft area.
Participate in paint-by-numbers style murals that will be featured at future events.
Talk with Chatfield Farms horticulturists and farmers.
Enjoy a variety of food, dessert and drink vendors.
Live music will be performed in the amphitheater.
