Brian Vogt photo: Monarch Society When Brian Vogt began as director of the Denver Botanic Gardens in 2007, the attendance was below half a million visitors a year. In 2024, the last year before his passing, attendance exceeded 1.4 million.
Brian transformed the modest but well-cared-for gardens into a regional asset that millions appreciate with a large satellite park in Arapahoe County and new, expanded, and upgraded facilities on the main campus in the heart of Denver at Cheesman Park.
Under Brian’s leadership, the Gardens hosted major art shows, for example, the Chihuly Glass, and has a regular schedule of summer concerts and music in its natural amphitheater.
His enthusiasm and dedication to making the Denver Botanic Gardens a people’s space will be missed. His life work is an enormous legacy for the Denver region.
