*************************

A garden is defined by the light that strikes it. What we take from the garden is the reflected glow and wash of color and shadow, warmth and beauty, contrast and symmetry. Through photography, Denver Botanic Gardens Official Photographer Scott Dressel-Martin has learned that “a garden is where you find it.”

Weeding the vegetable garden is never easy but in Denver, it's a daunting and exhausting task. Try these tips for weeding the Denver vegetable garden to make the job a little more pleasant.
