One of the best botanical gardens for showing both local and native plants and collections from around the world. One of my favourite aspects of Denver BG is the steppe/high plains sections as I have not found too many other gardens that display plants native to other very similar world regions in one area, as opposed to one conglomeration of sorts of typical prairie plants, for example. There was a children's garden, rooftop garden which was quite something, Chihuly glass sculptures, the cottage-type house, a beautiful conservatory, bonsai collection and many other types of gardens on the outside of the place. They offer several free days per year, so I had the luck of visiting on one of those days, but they do normally charge an entrance fee. They have corresponding plant sales on those days as well, selling many plants that are suitable for the Front Range. Would highly recommend a visit if in the area, and I know I will take another visit here the next time I am in the Mile High City.
