At the "Dan Johnson Garden" in Denver, Colorado,
an average city lot supports an eclectic
garden that is anything but average. The result
^ k of a mad collector with an artistic bent, carefully
planted and placed containers, sculptural elements
and found objects enhance the sense of
surprise. Visit this garden on September 12th.
