The Mile High City's Finest Garden, Denver Botanic Garden.
Spread over 23 acres in the heart of the city, the Denver Botanic Garden presents many different garden settings, from a walled English Garden, to the Rose Garden to several displays of native and drought adapted plants. Panayoti Keladis took us through the Prairie Garden, Western Borders and Water Wise Garden to illustrate the rich variety of plants and strong display of color and texture available. These plants are perfectly adapted to the hot, dry, and windy climate of Colorado, the plains and intermountain West.
Denver Botanic Garden also helps select and showcase waterwise plants for Plant Select for the Rocky Mountain and Plains states. Plant Select is a program designed to seek out and distribute plants for gardens from the high plains to the intermountain West.
