A-maze-ing fall fun: Annual corn maze at Chatfield Farms is a tradition for many

The leaves are turning, and the air is chilling. At Chatfield Farms, that means one thing — corn maze time.

This year, the 7-acre maze, now in its 18th year at the Denver Botanic Gardens’ South Jeffco location, is an expression of gratitude to first responders. A fire truck, police car and ambulance are carved into the rows of corn, and scarecrows dressed as first responders are spread throughout the maze. Design planning begins the January prior to the corn maze opening. The corn is planted in May, and a design is cut in June.
