     Gardeners, butterfly enthusiasts and nature lovers who live in or visit the Grand Junction area will be delighted by a visit to the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens.  The Greenhouse and Butterfly House feature more than 600 lush tropical plants, numerous colorful butterflies flitting about, as well as ponds containing fish and water plants.  Visitors will also enjoy the Children's Secret Garden, the Rose Garden and the Sensory Garden whose plants have interesting textures, scents or perhaps a tendency to rustle in the wind.  Butterfly Crossing is another outdoor garden that features butterfly-attracting plants.  Several other gardens are in a planning phase or construction stage.  The new outdoor amphitheater allows the Gardens to offer evening slide shows, concerts, and educational presentations.  The Gardens' 12 acre site is located beside the Colorado River and the Colorado River Trail near Watson Island and the Watson Island Nature Trail.  Be sure to complete your visit by shopping at Botanica Gift Shop, located at the entrance to the Greenhouse.  All gift shop proceeds benefit the botanical gardens.  For more information please visit www.wcbotanic.org.
