  • 2015 Year in Review
    SCIENCE 2015 2015 YEARYEAR ININ REVIEWREVIEW Plants are fundamental to life, from the air that we breathe to the food that we eat. Science is the foundation of botanic gardens, from understanding how to grow plants in the gardens to conserving biodiversity outside the gardens. Thus, plant science serves as a key programmatic element of Denver Botanic Gardens. 2015 WAS AN ACTIVE YEAR FOR FIELD, LAB AND COLLECTION ACTIVITIES As a regional research center, we play a critical role in the conversation, preservation and documentation of Colorado’s biodiversity. Plant, fungal and Colorado insect collections document species occurrence, deepen our knowledge of biodiversity, provide primary data for scientific studies and inform conservation. Field measurements and tissue samples build the body of data that informs protection decisions for plant species. Seed collections aid in long-term preservation. Collected in 2015: 48,548 rare and imperiled plant measurements 2,926 seeds 1,334 plant specimens 319 fungal specimens 141 insect specimens PLUS threatened and endangered 17 of the plant specimens collected in 2015 were new county 5 species tissue samples records, expanding our knowledge of plant distributions. Conservation Programs Seed Conservation Population Biology Regional seed collecting, preservation species at Denver Botanic Gardens and germination experiments support for display and educational purposes.

These core values, along with the Gardens’ brand platform, strategy, icon and capital campaign, are cohesive and serve as a map to chart our course. With the support of friends, we set out to ensure Denver Botanic Gardens will forever flourish. MESSAGE FROM THE CEO It seems as if all years, over time, develop a theme. It can be a new garden, an exhibit or a phenomenon. For Denver Botanic Gardens, 2017 was all about collections and connections. The primary purpose of our certified museum is the management of collections. We tend to seven living collections, preserved collections, art, artifacts and books. This was the year when one of our most important collections took center stage, literally. The first full season of the Steppe Garden mesmerized visitors and scholars alike. It is rare to find such a deep and interesting comparative study of plants from similar ecosystems. They are different yet related.
