Garden Bloggers Fling, the annual meetup and 3-1/2-day garden tour for garden bloggers, will be hosted a mile above sea level this summer in exciting Denver, Colorado! The tour dates are June 13-16, and registration opened today. Because the event has a limited number of spots, I encourage interested garden bloggers to register as soon as possible.

The Denver planning team has put together a marvelous itinerary. We’ll tour two gardens designed by Lauren Springer Ogden, including one that Martha Stewart covered in her magazine; the personal garden of Panayoti Kelaidis; Scott Deemer’s garden; Rob Proctor’s garden; Denver Botanic Gardens; an intriguing acreage mysteriously dubbed “The Secret Garden”; and many more.

This will be the Fling’s 12th year of exploring gardens in cities across North America, following fun-filled visits to Austin, Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Toronto, Portland, San Francisco, Asheville, Seattle, Buffalo, and Chicago. I haven’t missed one yet! When two busloads of garden bloggers get together for a long weekend of garden sightseeing, socializing, and networking, you can count on a good time. These are your people, and you will have lots of fun and make new friends as you get an insider’s tour of the most beautiful and interesting gardens in the city. I hope to see you there!
