 the Japanese garden by caffeine_induced78 The Denver Botanic gardens is my favorite place in all of Denver. It is a collection of native and non-native plants in Colorado. The best time of year to visit is May through October when the Koi are active and flowers are blooming. A collection of gardens from prarie, desert, japanese, european and mountain montaine can be found here. Bring a book for relaxing, or a camera for memories - but god forbid don't forget the sunglasses. Hours are 9am to 5pm daily with extended summer hours (May-Sep.) Summer rates are $6.50 for adults, $4.50 for seniors over 65, $4.00 for students and youth. Students need to have an ID.

 Tropical Conservatory by caffeine_induced78 This is the Tropical Conservatory in the Denver Botanical Gardens. It is free to get in with your admission into the gardens. It's a rather large building that is kept at a warm temperature and high humidity. Keeping the environment change in mind it is a very good idea to bring a bottle of water along into the conservatory. The city of Denver is often over 90 degrees in the summer with low humidity. It's the moisture inside that will really get to you. The Conservatory hosts a number of tropical plants from Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

 Autumn Hues at Denver Botanical Gardens by yellowbell I just love the red, violet, yellow and orange hues of the leaves during autumn in the Denver Botanical Gardens. Lily ponds, Japanese gardens and a Conservatory of tropical plants can be seen. Leave a Comment

by Hedgehogs Denver Botanical Gardens. They are beautiful. There are many different themed gardens and lots of places to sit and enjoy. You can bring a picnic lunch ( I would recommend this), but they do have a small restaurant and food stand (only open in the summer I think & quite pricy). Explore 23 acres of fragrance and foliage any time of the year at our facility at 1005 York Street. Whether it’s January or June, the Gardens offers an unforgettable horticultural experience. They have an indoor tropical garden that is very warm and humid. In the winter around the holidays they have it all decorated with lights. They have lots of special activities through out the summer, concerts, art shows and a plant sale. Leave a Comment

The one thing that caught my interest about the Denver Botanical garden is their layout and the way they have organized their collections I had apparently gone at the wrong time of the year to sample the species of vegetation that they had in their external grounds, esp because the only thing I saw there was brown and dry grass - being the onset of Winter, when the Sun was very mild and it was a chilly breeze. But the main reason I had been there was to try some photography on the vegetation. I was not disappointed as much but I could have done better capturing those moments and experimenting better with my camera. I would probably post more pics than write about my experiences...

 A brochure of the gardens for location and sites by BruceDunning I did not get into the gardens this trip due to time constraints, but do offer a brochure to peak your interest. The park is 23 acres in size, and exhibits 45 designed gardens and 32,000 plants. The garden is 10 minutes east of town along Cherry Creek that runs through Denver. It is at 10th & York. Hours are 9-8 mid May-Sept on Sat through Tuesday, and 9-5 the other days. Off season is is open 9-5. Admission to the York site is $11.50/$12.50, and $3 less for seniors and children. To me a bit steep in the price for a tour lasting maybe 1-2 hours max

 IN THE CONSERVATORY, LIGHT AND SHADOWS PLAY by Rich62, 4 more photos DENVER'S BOTANIC GARDENS HAVE an indoor rain forest that certainly isn't as big as Omaha's Lied Jungle, and has no animal life in it, but is nevertheless well worth a visit. Perhaps the photos will give you a better idea than anything I could describe. Even our 28-year old son, who has no particular interest in horticulture or botany, really seemed to enjoy the visit. Since we were there in April, the outside gardens and water features had yet to spring to life. However one could tell that in another month it would be exceptionally beautiful and interesting. In fact the gardens have 23 acres with 32,000 plants from all corners of the world. Adult admission was $7.50 and will increase to $8.50 for the summer months. There are various rates for students, children, etc. Leave a Comment Address: 10th and York StreetsDirections: It is located between Colfax Avenue and 8th Avenue on York Street. Between York and Downing. Its just south of City Park.Website: www.botanicgardens.org
