Grab your walking shoes and hat, and stop by! We are offering regularly scheduled Public Garden Tours providing a family-friendly introduction to the Santa Fe Botanical Garden. Topics may vary depending on the guide, though each tour will last 40 – 50 minutes, cover terrain throughout the Garden, and draw from our mission to celebrate, cultivate, and conserve the rich botanical heritage and biodiversity of our region.
Led by various Garden staff and trained docent volunteers, tours September through December will take place every Friday, and Saturday and Community Day starting at 11:00 a.m. No registration is required, and there is no charge beyond admission to the Garden. For more information and to plan your visit see this page.
In addition to providing these regularly scheduled offerings, we may also be able to serve private groups of 10 or more if they contact us at least two weeks ahead of time. Likewise, the Garden will continue to offer seasonal experiences on special topics, so keep an eye out for upcoming announcements!

Sunset Concert Series with Dana Cooper

Sunset Concert Series with Dana Cooper
Wednesday, September 18
Veteran Americana/Folk Rock Artist Dana Cooper Makes Triumphant Return with New Album “The Ghost of Tucumcari.”
Come celebrate Acclaimed Singer/Songwriter Dana Cooper’s 32nd Release featuring Lyle Lovett, Hayes Carll, Susan Gibson, Shake Russell, Darden Smith, Mando Saenz & more. The album takes listeners on a stirring musical journey across genres from Folk & Rock to Country & Americana.
“Dana has a poet’s eye for beauty & detail, a blue’s man’s soul, and a songbird’s gift. He is remarkable.” Hayes Carll
Quote from Glide Magazine – “The Title Track crackles with a mysterious energy that would make for the background music of a David Lynch film, where dreamlike patterns form out of the subconscious. With Lyle Lovett on vocals, the track encapsulates the essence of true Americana”.
Link to Album on ALL Digital Platforms – https://digital-delivery-services.lnk.to/WD4ChZK4EM
Dana will perform many new songs as well as old favorites. LP’s & CD’s will be available for purchase at the show.
