The Gardens on Spring Creek is an 18-acre botanical garden located on the Spring Creek corridor in Fort Collins, Colorado.

A 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer board works in conjunction with the City of Fort Collins on behalf of the institution.

History
The idea for a community horticulture center in Fort Collins was vocalized as early as 1986, but the initial move to development can be traced to 1995 when the city of Fort Collins initiated a horticulture program. Groundbreaking for the visitor center took place in 2004, with the site opening later that year. 2017 saw the groundbreaking for a 5-acre, multi-million dollar expansion of garden spaces for the site. Lasting for two years, this expansion saw the addition of 5 new garden spaces: Theme (Plant Select, Fragrance, Rose, Moon, Hummingbird and Butterfly), Great Lawn/Everitt Pavilion, Undaunted, Foothills, and Prairie Gardens. Completed in 2019, the project doubled the visitor center's square footage and added an all-glass butterfly house operated in partnership with the Butterfly Pavilion of Westminster, CO. ==Features==
