Stem Ciders Announces Partnership with Denver Botanic Gardens

Stem Ciders is thrilled to announce a broad partnership with the Denver Botanic Gardens for the 2022 season. This strategic alignment will help to support the Denver Botanic Gardens family through their Music at the Gardens series for the 2022 Summer season, as well as sponsorship of the Chatfield Farms’ Lavender Festival July 16 and 17 and Pumpkin Festival October 7-9. 

Since its inception, Stem Ciders has committed to utilizing 100% real fruit, herbs, and spices to help drive an innovative yet authentic approach toward cider making. More recently, Stem’s new Botanical Ciders series was created to further highlight ingredients like organic tea, lemongrass, ginger, turmeric and even carrots. 

Now the Stem Ciders team is thrilled about the opportunity to gain further inspiration from horticultural artists and neighbors down the road at the Denver Botanic Gardens. As part of this partnership Stem Ciders will feature their seasonal Lavender cider at Chatfield Farms’ Lavender Festival and will also be debuting a new pumpkin cider as part of Chatfield Farms’ Pumpkin Festival. 

“Denver Botanic Gardens is grateful for the generous support of corporate partners like Stem Ciders, a supporting sponsor of our summer Music at the Gardens,” said Erin Bird, Associate Director of Communications. “Additionally, the cider made with lavender grown at the Gardens is sure to be a hit at Chatfield Farms’ Lavender Festival and Pumpkin Festival.” 

The 2022 Music at the Gardens series kicked off with Devotchka on June 12 and continues this week with Keb’ Mo’ Band on June 29. Other summer performances include Mary Chapin Carpenter and John Craigie on July 7th, Monsieur Periné on July 13, Corinne Bailey Rae with Malia on July 19, Judy Collins with Special Guests Chatham County Line on July 24, Chris Botti on July 26, and The Mavericks on July 27. 

“Collaborations like this provide unique ways for the Gardens to connect people with plants and to celebrate sustainably sourced, local ingredients,” said Bird. 

"We're honored to partner with such an iconic Colorado institution like the Denver Botanic Gardens,” said Morgan Graves, Brand Marketing Manager for Stem Ciders. “We're excited to

work together to create more value for the Gardens and its members, while also drawing further inspiration for our ingredient-driven ciders."
