Denver Botanic Gardens – Highly Recommended Jim Halligan

I have to say that I have been missing out on a great place here in Denver. With several Indigians volunteering for this weekend’s plant sale @DBG, I decided it was a good opportunity to chip in and take some pictures for the current social media campaign we have rolled out for the gardens.

I was blown away.

For those who don’t know me, I attended Oregon State University and received my B.S. degree in Botany. I also have dabbled in, and continue to show interest in graffiti art. And as you may know, Denver Botanic Gardens has put the two together to develop a unique and outstanding meduim in their current exhibit Urban Nature.

It’s amazing, when I ask myself ‘why did I spend all that time and money in college and do nothing with it?’ Then, I find myself working for a great company in downtown Denver and going on-site to one of the top-ranked botanical gardens in the US to shoot pictures for the benefit of their website. I guess I can’t say it didn’t work out for me, because even though i’m not in a lab testing Phytophthora infestans’ resistance to fungicide- I get to stroll around a beautiful venue and snap picutres of two things I love for a good cause.

So, I feel somewhat lucky to be so involved with this campaign. I would highly recommend giving the gardens a visit sometime soon. Different species will be coming into bloom over the next few weeks, and the plantlife will certainly compliment the artist’s work as time elapses over the summer.
