Denver Botanic Gardens open year-round for you to see hardy landscape combinations in all seasons. They also feature a tropical conservatory and seasonal art exhibits.

Plant Select: efforts of this group are to choose low water hardy plants that will flourish in the Rocky Mountain Region.  MANY will work wonderfully in our area.  We offer a variety of these plants in our perennial section.  If you buy elsewhere- be sure to check zones as some of the Plant Select varieties overwinter  better in milder parts of Colorado.
