Spring has sprung, and the warmer weather makes it the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking and gardening! No garden? No problem. The new Gardens layer on the State of Colorado Map Viewer allows you to find nearby community, botanical and municipal gardens.

• Go to the State of Colorado Map Viewer and click OK. 
• On the left side of the screen, scroll to the bottom of the view list and select Gardens, which will open up a dropdown menu that only displays the word Gardens. 
• Click on the new Gardens link; you will now see a birds-eye view of gardens in Colorado.
• To find a garden near you, drop a point or enter your address at the bottom left of the screen underneath “Spring has sprung.”

While you’re exploring the map, check out hiking trails, state parks and national forests to continue your outdoor adventures!
