Visit The Denver Botanic Garden

No trip to Denver, Colorado would be complete without a visit to The Denver Botanic Gardens. The list of reasons why is immense, but here are my 6 reasons to visit The Denver Botanic Gardens on your next Colorado excursion.

Bright Radiant Colors

#1 – Relaxation:

Denver can be a non-stop travel destination. With all the site seeing, travels to the nearby Rocky Mountains, and multiple natural beauty experiences you can sometimes be left feeling just plain wore out. The altitude difference alone can leave you feeling a little more tired than normal. Steve and I found that by the third day of our trip we needed a little relaxation. Nothing is more relaxing than a leisurely stroll amongst an abundance of lush gardens and waterfalls.

#2 – The Beauty:

Multi-colored flowers line the paths that span 24 acres, with each delicate flower more beautiful than the one previous. Move between sun-drenched areas through shady pathways to explorer the grounds, as if the botanical garden were a masterpiece painting hanging in an art gallery.

#3 – Fragrant Scent:

Certain fragrances will conjure up feelings and memories from your past. If you don’t believe me, you will after stepping onto The Denver Botanic Gardens. Rich, sweet smells of each flowering jewel heighten your feeling that you have arrived in a genuinely dreamy place.

#4 – Affordability:

The cost of entry was extremely reasonable, at only $15.00 per person. I also suggest visiting The Denver Botanic Gardens website to check for dates on which entry is free of charge. I noticed several families enjoying the gardens and thought about how expensive other family activities can be.

It almost doesn’t seem real.

#5 – Romance:

There were times along our journey through the maze of blooming flowers that I felt as if Steve and I were all alone. With so much area and nestled out of the way places, it was easy to leave the crowds behind and focus on the two of us. Looking at romantic arrangements and lovely water gardens became the perfect place to hold hands.

Flowers from around the world.

#6 – Photography:

I am far from a professional photographer, but I sure felt like one amongst natures most beautiful creations. I doubt you could take a bad picture here. Colorful petals were waiting to be captured and shared with friends. Foliage that almost seemed unreal, as if I wanted to touch them to make sure they were not plastic. Regardless of the camera, you are using, you are sure to get some fantastic shots.

Be sure to take pictures.

What Did Kathy Brown Find At The Denver Botanic Garden?

I wish I had a green thumb. It’s lucky for me that destinations exist where I can admire flourishing greenery and soft, delicate flowers because I have never been able to grow anything. I’m pretty sure I could kill a fern in given a chance. I think that is part of the reason I enjoyed my experience so much. I can only imagine the time and skill that goes into creating and maintaining these magical gardens.
