Welcome to Rocky Mountain Botanic Gardens in Lyons, Colorado!

The Rocky Mountain Botanic Gardens is located where the mountains meet the plains alongside the St. Vrain River. Our garden features native plants of Colorado from five ecological zones: Prairie Grasslands, Foothills, Montane, Southwest, and Riparian.

Created and maintained by community volunteers, we strive to show off the beauty and resilience of native plants to inspire gardeners to plant local. We also serve as an educational resource to help visitors from near and far learn to identify the spectacular plants they meet in the Colorado wilds.

Our garden is run as a nonprofit with the mission to foster an understanding and an appreciation of our Rocky Mountain native plants and wildlife, and to create a place where Lyons locals and visitors of all ages can learn and enjoy the peace and beauty of the natural world.

RMBG is free and open to visitors every day from dawn until dusk, except in extremely snowy conditions.
