Colorado Shakespeare Gardens

Colorado Shakespeare Gardens Audio-Visual Tour

The tour includes a history of the gardens section, and a featured tour for each garden, some narrated by an actor speaking as Will Shakespeare. It is designed for both watching for pleasure and to support teaching Shakespeare and/or plants. The entire tour takes a little under three hours, but can be watched and used in small bites of a few minutes.
