A Visionary Garden in the American West
Author: Panayoti Kelaidis
The plants that one encounters in gardens and nurseries
in the Front Range area of Colorado, and elsewhere
in our region, are utterly different from what one
would have encountered 50 years ago. A large proportion
of the native and adapted plants utilized nowadays in
American gardens debuted on the grounds of Denver
Botanic Gardens. Many of these plants simply are not found
in common reference books or even on the Internet. The
purpose of this book is to inform readers about 50 special
plants selected from the wealth of garden plants introduced
over the history of Denver Botanic Gardens, as well
as how to use these plants in the home garden. Each
plant description is accompanied by beautiful color photographs
and hand-painted renderings from the gifted
artists of DBG’s Botanical art program.
