By , About.com Guide

The Denver Botanic Gardens concert series attracts musicians from around the country to play in the garden's intimate setting. Highlights of the 2012 schedule include Al Green, Diana Krall and the Gipsy Kings.

"Our concert series kicks off on July 4," said Jennifer Riley-Chetwynd, director of marketing, PR and events at Denver Botanic Gardens. "We have 15 concerts, 13 here at York Street and two at Chatfield." The concerts are held in the outdoor amphitheater nestled in the garden grounds at 1007 York St. Concerts held at the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield location are also noted.

Tickets go on sale to members first on April 23, 2012, and popular shows can sell out before tickets are available to the general public on May 1, 2012. Tickets can be purchased from the Botanic Gardens website or by phone at 1-888-440-9568.

For the third year, the concert series is presented in conjunction with Swallow Hill Music. Concertgoers can purchase tickets in person at the Swallow Hill Music, located at 71 East Yale Ave. in Denver. Tickets are NOT available for purchase at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
