When I am not busy selling Denver Real Estate, there is nothing I like better than finding new things to do with my family in Denver. I am quite excited about this upcoming one. The Denver Botanic Gardens is one of my favorite places in the mile-high city and the spring exhibit is going to be just fabulous.
The last week of March kicks off this grand event with David Rogers' Big Bug Exhibit. Rogers sculptures are card form wood and look fantastic. In Denver we will have a spider carved of black walnut, a 17 foot long Dragonfly from red cedar and many more. Its more than just carvings though, it's a exhibit that is educational, showing just how important insects are to plant life and the ecosystem as a whole.
Some guided tours will be available but you can just walk through the exhibit with your paid Gardens admission (members are free).
Rogers has been carving since he was 13 and began developing the Big Bugs exhibit in 1993. It first was shown in Dallas in 1994.
This exhibit is sure to bring out the ooohs and aaaahs from the whole family!
I'll be sure to update this post with photos just as soon as the exhibit opens. In the meantime, make sure you schedule some time to check it out! Hours until April 30th are 9 - 5 (daily) and beginning May 1st will be extended from 9 - 8pm Saturday through Tuesday. The Gardens are lcoated east of downtown Denver, Colorado at 1005 York Street.
