VOLUNTEERS
We are sustained
by the renewable energy of incredible
Volunteers. We have among the highest
volunteer-to-staff ratios of any botanical
garden: Over 90% of the physical labor is
provided by senior, youth and handicapped
volunteers. Applied
horticultural therapy is a an
everyday activity. This enables a small town
to have a botanic garden while providing
meaningful activities to those who have much
to give.
|
RENEWABLE
ENERGY
Our unique solar conservatory is
100% solar heated
and 50%
of our electricity is also powered by the sun !!!
We are the Intermountain West's oldest and one of the largest
demonstration sites for sustainable, renewable energy! This enables a small
town to have a botanic garden!
The Paul Smith Children's Village
demonstrates solar heating, solar power and wind power. |
PLANTS
We function as a traditional public botanic
garden with nine acres
of landscapes and gardens located in Cheyenne's premier park
(Lions Park). See numerous specialty gardens and landscapes.
We also grow and plant over 80 flower beds in
our local parks and parkways functioning as a municipal nursery.

At the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens, you will
find history, inspiration and innovation along with community, beauty and
sustainability.
Our solar conservatory displays tropical plants, herb, cacti and many other
useful and beautiful plants. There is always something in bloom every day of
the year!
Come see first-hand how people have come together in this small city under
extreme weather conditions to perpetuate the values of community, beauty and
sustainability.
