What To Expect

Denver Botanic Gardens

Denver Botanic Gardens began in 1951 and is one of the most visited and well-loved botanical gardens in the United States. Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the Gardens’ living collections encompass specimens from the tropics to the tundra, showcasing a plant palette chosen to thrive in Colorado’s semi-arid climate. The Gardens’ York Street location near Capitol Hill is a dynamic, 24-acre urban oasis in the heart of the city, offering unforgettable opportunities to flourish with unique garden experiences for the whole family – as well as world-class education and plant conservation research programs. The three-acre Mordecai Children’s Garden sits atop the parking structure and provides hands-on plant education and play spring through fall (open seasonally). While most of the gardens highlights Colorado native plants, there are beautiful gardens designed to showcase plants from around the globe, including Asia, the Middle East, South Africa, Patagonia, South and Central America and beyond. Special events, art exhibitions and guided tours takes place throughout the year. Nearly all of the York St location is wheelchair and stroller accessible; there are a few gravel paths and stairs, but different routes can be taken to see the area. Two dining options: Offshoots Café (open all year) and The Hive Garden Bistro (three-season) offer full meals, snacks and beverages. The Shop at the Gardens presents an incredible selection of garden-related tools, books and décor, along with locally-crafted home décor, tabletop items, accessories and bath and body items. A children’s section has a great selection of educational tools, books and toys. *Does not include admission to specially ticketed events such as Blossoms of Light.

We went as a couple between 6pm to 8pm and we loved it. It's really beautiful with different themes. The Japanese Garden was the highlight. That said, if you are going during summer time, will recommend after 5pm so it's not too hot.

Huge site to walk around, beautiful plants and flowers, well kept. Gift shop amazing but as I don't live in the US I couldn't buy the stunning ceramics and pillows/cushions as impossible to transport. Cafes attractive with a good variety of refreshments. Free parking on a Sunday.

After a very busy week, my family and I decided to meet a friend here to relax. None of us had ever been here before, and it was quite the treat! There were several different gardens within the complex; plants range from succulents/desert plants to tropical ferns, depending on where you are in the gardens. Additionally, there were several themed areas of the park that ranged from traditional Rocky Mountain flora to a Japanese zen garden. It was very quiet and peaceful, despite its location in a busy part of the city. The signage indicating areas of the gardens, as well as the signs informing visitors what plants they were seeing, was fantastic! While walking, we decided to have a quick bite at Hive Garden Bistro; drinks and snacks are served starting at 1000, and the lunch menu is served from from 1030 onward. We each had a coffee (or tea) and a small pastry. The bistro's location adjacent to a giant lily pond made for such a great, relaxing time! There was even a mama duck and her duckling wandering around the bistro, picking up food scraps the humans accidentally dropped. There was also ample parking (we arrived when the gardens opened) attached to the complex that's free for patrons. We learned that this place also has various classes/lectures/educational opportunities that guests can sign up for online; I'm definitely interested in the lecture about tea!
