POLICIES
A 50 percent security deposit (non-refundable) is due 10-days following booking the site. The balance of your fee is due 30 days before the event, along with your set-up requirements. Once the date, time, and location for your event have been decided, a contract will be sent to you to be signed and returned with the deposit. In addition to the security deposit you will be required to submit a separate form of payment for a damage deposit that will be held and returned within two weeks following your event should the site be found in an acceptable condition. The damage deposit will also be held if you exceed your allotted time. Please plan accordingly to allow for set-up, clean-up and breakdown.

A shift in seasons is bringing significant change to Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield:

Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield - new amphitheatre re-grade

  • A new amphitheatre is being
    re-graded to provide a better experience for concert-goers with new grass, a wildflower meadow and shade trees. A permanent stage is being built and will be completed in time for the 2009 concert season.

  • Check out our new Deer Creek Discovery children’s area, which includes a whimsical tree house.
