If so then you are aware that there are hundreds of creative and unique ideas on how to extend your home into nature, but we bet you don’t know what actually goes into the actual show. Today we are going to share a few fun facts about the garden show which wrapped up yesterday.

45,000 square feet (more than an acre) was devoted to flowering garden displays.

$116,000 worth of flowers, trees and shrubs grown specifically for the show.

15,000 blooming flowers, plus 200 trees and 500 shrubs are used in creating the lush landscaped gardens at the show. The flowers and blooming trees are grown in Welby Gardens’ greenhouses. They are planted in August and are grown in a strict climate-controlled environment which encourages the plants to bloom in the middle of winter.

2,000 cubic yards of recycled mulch used in the gardens. This is equivalent to 2,000 pickup truck loads.

400 tons of boulders and rocks were used in the gardens.

7,000 flowers will be delivered to more than 60 area nursing homes at the end of the show.

100% of every ticket sold is awarded in horticulture grants & scholarships across Colorado.
