Thanks to the green team volunteers for helping us compost this weekend at summer concerts!
Between the Pretenders show at Chatfield and Los Lobos last night at York Street, we collected 8 bags. I wonder how many we will collect tonight at Poncho Sanchez?
Where are the good stories about plants? A good story would help me remember their name and give me something fun to share when I’m out in the Gardens giving a tour. Online searches were frustrating me, so I pulled my eyes away from the computer and stumbled into the Helen Fowler Library at Denver Botanic Gardens. Within minutes Deb Golanty, the Senior Librarian, asked me what I was looking for and minutes after that I was handed the perfect book to quench my thirst: Stories and Legends of Garden Flowers by Vernon Quinn. Will I ever be able to look at a zinnia again and not think of the human eye?
Attention! Two car parking spaces have gone missing in Denver Botanic Gardens’ parking lot, between York and Josephine Streets. Apparently those two spaces were replaced by ribbons of sturdy black metal bars called “bike racks.” They say that these racks can accommodate up to 28 bicycles. However, so far only a few of those wonderful machines have been spotted utilizing these new racks. Summer has kicked in, so why not bike it to the Gardens, give the trees and fences a break, and lock up to the new bike racks!
