greenhouse complex

Botanical Interest: Funded by the citizens of Denver through the Better Denver Bond Campaign, the new 50,000 square-foot Greenhouse Complex consists of 16,000 sq. ft. of new state-of-the-art greenhouses with flexibility for 12 climate control options, a renovated Marnie’s Pavilion which showcases our epiphytic (orchids, bromeliads and ferns) collections, an Orangery with seasonal year-round displays reminiscent of traditional European Renaissance garden displays, public classroom and horticulture department offices.

It’s a fact: The greenhouses house our diverse tropical, orchid & bromeliad, cactus & succulent, and aquatic collections; production and propagation spaces; and a plant tissue culture lab. Be sure to visit the Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory before or after you visit the Greenhouse Complex.
