For the desert climate in Grand Junction, CO, and the size of it, it is a nice little BG. Also, the Haloween time Harvest Illuminatied was pretty cool & a great time for families.

I love the handmade gift items for sale now in the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens gift shop. From hand painted planters, clocks, signs, and plaques to hand made ornaments and jewelry. The Butterflies and flowers brought me back to warm memories. Get in there before Christmas.

Great hidden gem of South Grand Junction. Good place to stretch legs and enjoy butterfly habitat.

So lately I’ve been doing door dashing and it’s kind of giving me a new respect for the businesses in town I mean really you’re gonna report me for not wearing a mask when you yourself are not wearing a mask Sheldon really liked the botanical gardens probably won’t go back if you’re gonna let your staff do things like that I mean if you’re going to have your staff ordering from a place you need to tell them to respect the people they’re ordering from you know Google maps has a hard time directing people to your place so I was having a hard time finding it not that I don’t know where it’s at but it gives me an address I follow the GPS try to get there it’s got me going in circles so I’m on the phone trying to contact support take my mask off finally find it jump out of the car while I’m on the phone I hand it to you add an arms distance and you’re an arms distance were more than 6 feet apart I’m fully vaccinated with a booster and you report me

Deserves a mountain more of community support and funding. Its like visiting a secret paradise full of positivity and life. Breath in whats missing in the concrete clad, rushing obligations of the daily drone. Grown slowly because of a fews dedication and love of natures magic. Love this place, please 🌱🌺🌻🌷💚

The bones are there to be beautiful. Neglect, poorly managed. Needs a committmemt for this garden to survive. If I had donated money, I would be furious. Dont put this on an itenary.

Great space in grand junction. Could use a few more volunteers for grounds upkeep but well worth the visit. They have a great butterfly house.

The outdoor part was nice but the butterfly garden was lackluster. Mom was dissatisfied☹️

Review №19

Unfortunately very poorly maintained - more like an abandoned lot full of weeds than a botanical garden. Definitely not worth your, or anyones time.

Good entertainment for Grand Junction. Child-friendly and educational for local students. I should know, since I was one of them.

Great botanical gardens! Amazing place to visit whether youre local or visiting! Many large metropolitan cities have botanical gardens which cant match this! Large indoor greenhouse featuring butterflies. Outdoor paths featuring local plant species, artwork, and historical information about the Riverwalk!!! Locals & visitors should not miss this Grand Junction gem!

Rather annoyed they have their hours online & at the gates as 8-4 Tuesday through Friday we brought the kids down and they were closed... I called the office and nobody answered although they stated they were open. It one of my biggest best peeves when businesses post hours but aren’t open or hours are different. Highly disappointed. Considering that the website and the gates obviously have wrong hours I would suggest calling before wasting your time coming down to be disappointed. On a good note the river front train is always open and we did that instead!

Such a beautiful place the staff are very kind staff.Today I was able to sign up for an annual membership plus one and only spent 45 dollars and gives me access to over 300 botanicals gardens across the US. It was a really nice place I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful turtle who sought in the area where the butterflies were if you’re looking for a beautiful place and some quiet time with a tiny bit of humidity this is the place to be.

Has potential of being amazing. Stagnant water everywhere. Needs lots of maintenance. Ponds were fun. Succulent garden gave us good ideas for our own yard.

Located at the end of 7th Street it is part of Grand Junctions Riverfront Complex. It has plenty of free parking and is accessible to the Riverfront Bicycle Trail System. Lots of public events happen here and in the immediate area. It is a work-in- progress that gets better all the time. Well worth fequeqnt visits.

Apparently your drivers think its ok to drive around town with an uncovered trailer flinging tree branches all over the place. Then when I honk to let them know how stupid and dangerous they are, and they flip me off... is this the precident you set for your workers? My garden will now be free of your plants
