Community Day at the Garden
2024-04-28 09:00 - 17:00 (America/Denver) | NM
At the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, we realize not everyone has the time or financial ability to become a member. So, we created free Community Days at the Garden that offer all New Mexico residents and students the opportunity to enjoy the Garden in every season and feel a part of our environmental community at no cost. Community Days are the Garden’s way of spreading cheer throughout the year and encouraging our New Mexico neighbors to visit!
Community Days at the Garden take place one day per month, year-round from January-November, so make sure to come out and enjoy a beautiful spring day with FREE admission as well as a FREE Public Garden Tour starting at 1pm at the Garden! No pre-registration required.
Community Days are graciously sponsored by DEL NORTE LOV FOUNDATION.

About the Club: Santa Fe Chess has been hosting events for years, but it’s seeing unprecedented growth thanks to media coverage and the push into digital marketing. New organizers continue the traditions of weekly practice at DeVargas and Violet Crown, as well as rated tournaments. However, they’ve amplified these efforts with beginner-friendly simuls, mall competitions, and lessons to schools and youth groups all over town. The club will continue its success in 2024 by coordinating with Albuquerque organizers, installing permanent chess tables at DeVargas, offering lessons to Big Brothers Big Sisters, and teaching several classes at SFCC. Santa Fe Chess designs its events to be appropriate for all ages and skill levels, with no exclusion based on dues or membership requirements.
