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.

These gardens are very nice. Many different garden areas and enclosed / hot houses. Take your time to stroll through them all. I really liked the tropical conservatory, (the large glass dome-like structure), it contains so many lovely topical and sub-tropical varieties. Don't forget to check-out the Japanese Gardens.

Our threesome visited the Denver Botanical Gardens Tuesday July 23rd in the early afternoon. It was nice. It was clean. I did not get the "awe" factor though, anytime during our visit. I didn't feel that the tour pamphlet was of much help. It was hard to follow. We just wandered around for several hours and enjoyed each other's company. Comparing these Gardens to others I've been to East of the Mississippi …. well there is no comparison. I kind of wonder why it has such high ratings as I probably would not return.
