The Colorado Shakespeare Gardens (CSG) invites all who love Shakespeare’s work to extend their experience from the sight and sounds of the stage to the scent and sweet beauty of his gardens. For the 2025 season of the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, the Shakespeare Gardens will be open, but some beds will be inaccessible due to the renovation of the Hellems buildings surrounding the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre, and food service will not be available.
Spend some time before taking your seat in the Roe Green Theatre (indoors) and visit the courtyard between Hellems and the Lucille Berkeley Buchanan Building to enjoy play-by-play plantings, a knot garden inspired by traditional Elizabethan designs, the moonlight Midsummer Night’s Dream garden, and more. The Kitchen Garden, largely inspired by The Merry Wives of Windsor, can be found this year at the north end of the courtyard in the Highlight Garden area next to the plum tree. A passionately committed team of volunteers cultivates and tends these gardens dedicated to the plants that Shakespeare knew and memorably referenced in his plays.
