Denver Botanic Gardens
Denver

Located in the middle of the Mile High City, Denver Botanic Gardens was one of the first gardens in the country to emphasize native plants and to champion environmentally responsible practices, such as water conservation and biological control of pests. Today, Denver Botanic Gardens continues this tradition at four unique sites - York Street, Chatfield Nature Preserve, Centennial Gardens and Mt. Goliath Alpine Trail - that demonstrate the varied ecosystems of Colorado. Most of all, Denver Botanic Gardens offers spectacular plant displays, unlimited opportunities for lifelong learning and important research that is aiding in the preservation of Colorado's precious natural resources.

Rooted a mile high, the newly designed Denver Botanic Gardens has been a favorite Denver destination for 52 years, and has gained a national reputation as one of the top five urban gardens. Art and science unite in the Gardens' spectacular 23-acre urban oasis, offering an unforgettable artistic garden experience for the whole family, as well as a living laboratory for education and plant conservation programs. Additional sites at Chatfield Nature Preserve, a 700-acre wildlife and native plant refuge in Littleton, and Mt. Goliath, a high altitude trail and interpretive site on the Mt. Evans Scenic Byway, extend this experience throughout the Front Range.

Denver Botanic Gardens is located at 1005 York Street in Denver, Colorado. Denver Botanic Gardens thanks the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.
