🥂 Date Night? Girls Night? Hillside Gardens Has You Covered

🎵 Enjoy Music, Friends, and Scenic Beauty

Step into Hillside Gardens and you're instantly transported to a peaceful oasis that feels miles away from the stresses of daily life. For over 20 years, this four-acre garden paradise has been a beloved Colorado Springs destination, and now, under the fresh perspective of siblings Donavan and Ashlee Kennedy, it's blossoming in exciting new ways.

Fueled by a passion for their hometown and a desire to cultivate community, the Kennedys are adding their own unique touches to the venue. Every Wednesday from May through October, Hillside Gardens transforms into a mini music festival! Three stages come alive with diverse musical acts, ensuring there's a rhythm for every soul. Each stage boasts a distinct vibe and a selection of local food trucks, allowing guests to wander and discover new favorites or settle into one spot for the evening – the garden's design ensures each area feels intimate and self-contained.

For plant lovers, the seasonal Garden Center, open daily 9am-2pm through Oct, is a must-visit. Browse a variety of annuals, perennials, hanging plants, and chat with knowledgeable staff, bringing their expertise from the dearly missed, Good Earth Garden Center.

With award-winning scenery, mountain vistas, and a laid-back atmosphere, Hillside Gardens is perfect for a relaxing day or evening. Enjoy live music, garden inspiration, a morning pick-me-up, or start planning your dream wedding or event against this picturesque backdrop.

Committed to sustainability, community, and creating a space both familiar and refreshingly new, Donavan and Ashlee warmly invite you to experience the magic of Hillside Gardens, an affordable, relaxing distraction from the moment you enter its welcoming gates.
