I can’t seem to find any details on the Botanic Gardens’ website. I understand some permanent collections close in the winter, but not sure about this one.

Pinging some Coloradans who may know: @Hartinez @Colorado.

I’m pretty sure that the collection is basically closed in the winter. I think you can still walk through the garden but I don’t think any trees are on the benches typically.

No trees are in the bonsai pavillion in winter but stored in various places not accessible to the public. You might find a few trees peeking through the greenhouses. Also a flowering apricot is about to be displayed in the Marnie's Pavilion as it is starting to bloom!

More of a nursery, but First Branch Bonsai would be my destination if I was looking for a collected conifer. Don’t know about any more retail stores however.
