Spouse/Guest Program
Denver Botanic Gardens Tour and Luncheon
Mon June 25, 2007
10:30 am-2:30 pm
www.botanicgardens.org

Rooted a mile high, Denver Botanic Gardens has been a favorite Denver destination for over 55 years. Art and science unite in the Gardens’ spectacular 23-acre urban oasis, offering an unforgettable artistic garden experience, as well as a living laboratory for education and acclaimed conservation and research programs. Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street presents a wide range of gardens and collections that illustrate an ever-widening diversity of plants from all corners of the world. Distinctive gardens define and celebrate our regional sense of place in our unique high altitude climate and geography. Among the many gardens, Western Panoramas, Sacred Earth and the Heirloom Garden focus on regional themes and strengthen our Western identity. Along with the Roads Water-Smart Garden, Dryland Mesa and the Laura Smith Porter Plains Garden, these innovative designs serve as drought-tolerant gardening models and showcase native and adapted plants that thrive in Western gardens. Throughout Denver Botanic Gardens, the time honored traditions of European horticulture merge with a dynamic diversity of plants and design that represent the best in horticultural achievement.

The luncheon and tour are included with spouse/guest and adult child registration.

Adult Child Registration (over age 15) includes this Spouse/Guest program, the Welcome Reception, the Opening General Session, and the Gala Reception/Banquet.
