Default Re: New Member in Denver!

Welcome!

I am from Colorado (Nederland, just outside Boulder in the mountains...though currently living in Hawaii) and when I was in high school I got a pretty large collection going in my house. I recommend you visit the Denver Botanic Gardens if you haven't yet. They are undergoing some major renovations so my big collection of bananas there is currently out at the Chatfield facility (it was never publicly displayed anyways), but there is still a very nice collection in the conservatory, mostly what was already planted there but a few interesting ones that I planted as well. When they are done with the new greenhouses they will bring all of the other ones back over and you can ask to see them.
