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.

Although it was raining on the day we visited, the gardens were still so beautiful and full of colorful flowers. A very peaceful and lovely place to spend an hour or two.

I visited the Denver Botanical Gardens in December 2020, just before Covid hit. I'm from Southern California and I made a mistake expecting to see a variety of beautiful plants as is common in my state even in January. However, THEY also made a mistake. Those people should have been ashamed of themselves. After paying, I asked for recommendations and was told that they had a Monet pond and to also check out their "beautiful" Japanese area. REALLY? The Monet pond was frozen solid and that "beautiful" Japanese area was a bunch of dead sticks. The only alive plants were in their green house which took about 10 minutes to explore Perhaps the plants in the botanical garden are blooming in Spring and Summer and the Monet pond unfrozen. Still, very annoying they made me think I'd be seeing such things and charged me to see a very dead looking botanical garden.

What a pleasure - and this was for a visit before anything was in bloom. We so enjoyed wandering the gardens, which are beautifully done - even in winter. Made us want to return in May when everything is going crazy. Had a coffee by the reflecting pond, visited the terrific gift shop -- really a lovely way to spend a couple of hours.
