Denver Botanic Gardens

#tesaruonbudget The focus on perennials and ornamental grasses in the fall is outstanding. Instead of clearing out spent annuals, the gardeners intentionally leave many dried flower heads and stalks, which catch the low, golden sunlight dramatically. Plants like sedums, asters, and towering switchgrass create a textural tapestry of beige, bronze, and copper. This approach highlights the beauty of the plants' structure and dormancy, making the garden feel rich and alive, even as winter approaches. It's truly inspiring for the home gardener.
