About Us
The Durango Botanic Gardens, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, was founded in 2010 as the Durango Botanical Society with the goal of producing one of the Southwest's premier public gardens. All of our garden sections are funded by donations and memberships and maintained entirely by volunteers, guided by a volunteer board of directors. In 2022, membership grew to 384 members.
