Together, we’ll…Take Root. Grow. Flourish.
Event Sponsorship 2018 Opportunities
Dear Friend,
Take Root. Grow. Flourish. At the Gardens on Spring Creek, this tag line is more than words on a page. Rather, it is how we approach everything we do. Since 2004, the Gardens on Spring Creek has worked to provide dynamic opportunities that enrich the lives of people and foster environmental stewardship through horticulture while building community. This year, we expect over 65,000 visitors to come through our gates looking to be amazed by what we have growing here. Within this packet, you’ll find five opportunities for your business to grow with The Gardens. We are inviting you to partner with us in strengthening and expanding the experiences we provide to the community. These experiences will provide your business with positive exposure, marketing value, and alignment with the only community botanic garden in northern Colorado.
This year, we are offering Garden a’Fare Wine Tour & Beer Tour, Nature’s Harvest Fest, Halloween Enchanted Garden, and Garden of Lights as excellent chances for you to communicate your business’ commitment to the community and to reach new customers.
In addition, our Official Sponsor package is offered to give you the most marketing value throughout the year while solidifying your support of our gardens, events, and programs.
We hope you’ll find a level for your business in 2018 that enables you to become part of one or more of these community events, aligning your goals with ours in addition to receiving valuable exposure for your business in the process.
Let’s grow together…
