AARP Eye Center
Join AARP for a free day at Western Colorado Botanical Gardens on Friday, August 7, 2015.
In 1994, the Western Colorado Botanical Society entered into a long-term lease with the City of Grand Junction for a 15-acre site along the Colorado River. The tropical greenhose opened on November 8, 1997. Native butterflies were introduced in 1998 into the Butterfly House.
The WCBG is home to Herb, Cactus, and Rose Gardens and an Orchid Display that are maintained by local gardening organizations. The WCBG maintains the Children's Secret Garden, Shozan-en, Celebration Plaza, Community Garden and the lovely public gardens that surround our buildings. As the WCBG grows, more gardens will be developed.
August 7, 2015. Free to AARP Members.* AARP membership cards must be presented at the entrance of the Garden to get in free.
*Free entrance to the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens is subject to capacity of the gardens.
