Guest: Jim Fricke Executive Director       

The Colorado Garden Foundation was formed in 1958 to help raise money for the Denver Botanic gardens.  Coming up September 17-19 is the Colorado Fall Home Show which focuses on home renovation, remodeling and sustainable living.  The money raised during the shows goes back into the community into scholarships and grants.  COVID had a huge impact on the Colorado Garden Foundation.  They do not take grants or donations; they have not had a show in 18 months so they have had no income.  They get their income from investments and the shows.  They were still able to give away $200,000 scholarships and grants.
