Posted May 2, 2011 by Erin Algiere, Former Exhibitions Project Associate
Denver Botanic Gardens proudly presents Native Roots | Modern Form: Plants, Peoples and the Art of Allan Houser (May 1- November 13, 2011), a multidisciplinary appreciation of American Indian cultural and botanical heritage. Sculptures by world-renowned American Modernist Allan Houser (Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache, 1914-1994) inspire a look at the Gardens’ native plant collections and their Native American ethnobotanical uses. By bringing together the work of Allan Houser and ethnobotanical plants used by American Indian tribes, Denver Botanic Gardens aims to deepen visitors’ appreciation of Native arts and the value of plants in our daily lives.
