2014 Annual Report - Denver Botanic Gardens

of Denver Botanic Gardens is to connect people with plants, especially plants from the Rocky Mountain region and
similar regions around the world, providing delight and enlightenment to everyone.
The four core values of the Gardens - transformation, relevance, diversity and sustainability - spell out the Gardens’
intentions for the years ahead. These core values, along with the Gardens’ brand platform, strategy, icon and
capital campaign, are cohesive and serve as a map to chart our course. With the support of friends, we set out to
ensure Denver Botanic Gardens will forever flourish.

Denver Botanic Gardens has enjoyed a rich, compelling and inspiring history.
Imagine the opening of the Boettcher Tropical Conservatory. Picture yourself in
the Japanese Garden as the Crown Prince and Princess of Japan dedicated that
immortal space. What about the first time the waterways that snake through the
Gardens were filled? This gravity-fed marvel of architecture and engineering creates
a connection and a distinction throughout the landscapes it traverses. So many
moments in time and so many triumphs.
It’s hard to imagine a year that would ever rival 2014. In terms of sheer scale and
complexity, it looked virtually impossible and many peers thought it a bit, well,
unrealistic. And yet, with shoulder to the wheel the board, staff and volunteers
worked with countless contractors and partners to complete three major construction
projects, host two international conferences and create an exhibition of Dale Chihuly’s work that will surely go
down as one of his greatest ever.
Visitation grew 55% from 2013, making Denver’s the most visited public garden in North America. Membership
grew 52%. The total number of volunteers neared 2,700. Media impressions soared into the billions. Yes, billions.
At the same time, the level of horticulture hit an all-time high, Urban Food Initiatives expanded and new publishing
projects were launched. It seemed everyone was willing and able to test our capacity for relevant impact. The
result is deeper than you might expect.
Beyond all of the tangible benefits, a year like 2014 created a sense of competence and confidence throughout
the entire organization. As one member of the team said, “We can do anything!” As it always is, the strength of
any institution is determined by those who populate it. We are immeasurably fortunate to have people involved in
every way who are not only skilled and determined, but are also capable of fulfilling audacious dreams.
Thank you to each and every one of you who take part in this joyful enterprise.
Brian Vogt

I am pleased to report on Denver Botanic Gardens Inc. results of the year ended December 31, 2014, as detailed
in our accompanying audited financial statements. The Gardens is a nonprofit corporation formed in 1951,
organized for the establishment and maintenance of botanical gardens and arboreta in cooperation with the City
and County of Denver (the “City”), pursuant to a long term cooperative agreement with the City. In accordance
with this agreement, the Gardens manages and operates the facilities including the buildings, plantings and all
other properties that constitute Denver Botanic Gardens. The Gardens also has a long-term agreement to operate
Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Denver Botanic Gardens Endowment Inc., a
separate nonprofit organization established in 1991 that holds a majority of the Gardens’ endowment funds and
also includes the accounts of two affiliated volunteer organizations: the Associates of Denver Botanic Gardens and
the Denver Botanic Gardens Guild, who work for the betterment of the Gardens by providing volunteer assistance
and financial aid. The volunteers, the endowment and Denver Botanic Gardens are collectively referred to as “the
Gardens.”
In 2014 the Gardens continued to pursue its mission of connecting people with plants with an operating budget
of $19.9 million, compared to a 2013 operating budget of $15.2 million. We ended the current year with an
operating surplus of over $4.2 million, compared to $341,000 in 2013.
Non-operating activity included: endowment and capital campaign contributions of over $932,000; investment
return on the endowment (net of distribution) of minus $127,000; and capital expenditures of $7.2 million. Under
the operating agreement with the City all capital improvements are assets of the City and as such are not reflected
as the Gardens’ assets in the accompanying financial statements. These capital improvements, however, are
central to our mission and the experience of visiting the Gardens.
Total program services expenditures (representing core programs in the areas of horticulture, research, education
and Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield), increased by nearly $4.5 million or 34% compared to 2013.
Endowment net assets grew from $22.8 million in 2013 to $22.9 million in 2014 after contributions, realized and
unrealized gains, and a $765,000 distribution to the Gardens’ operating budget. The endowment’s investments
are stated at fair market value each year and for 2014 the change in fair value resulted in a gain of 3%. The
investment portfolio is diversified to limit the endowment’s investment risk and the Board of Trustees establishes the
portfolio’s investment policy. Since its inception in July 1992, the portfolio has earned a compound annual growth
rate of 8%.
During 2014, the finance committee of the board of trustees, the Chair of the Board, the CEO and the CFO met
regularly to review financial statements and results. This committee also approves the annual operating budget,
the Internal Revenue Service Form 990 and makes recommendations on various policy decisions to the board of
trustees and the CEO.
On behalf of Denver Botanic Gardens, I would like to thank the members, donors, the Scientific and Cultural
Facilities District (SCFD) and the City and County of Denver for their foundation of support as we endeavor to
ensure that the Gardens will forever flourish.

“Connecting people to plants through transformation, relevance, diversity and sustainability.”
There’s an aspirational mission and set of core values!
Public gardens, not unlike a host of other public spaces, provide an opportunity for people to slow down and
reconnect with themselves and others at a deep and soulful level. Surrounded by amazing beauty and the
opportunity to learn new things or reinforce existing knowledge, those who visit public gardens tap into something
primal. We are connected to old and enduring memories of times past, we are inspired to take that art class we
have put off, we smile watching children delight in abundant colors and textures…in short, we feel reconnected
to the earth and its possibilities.
What an amazing year 2014 was for the Gardens, as so much work exceeded our wildest dreams. In addition to
hosting the American Public Gardens Association Annual Conference, we premiered the Chihuly exhibition which
significantly increased visitation and membership and further strengthened our ability to support our mission at an
even deeper level. With the opening of the Hive Garden Bistro, visitors have a chance to enjoy nutritious and
delicious food surrounded by unmatched beauty. Those who visit the Science Pyramid, which has attracted national
and international attention for its architectural beauty and complexity, learn about Colorado and global steppe
regions in a uniquely interactive and technologically advanced way.
But that isn’t all. The programs that serve the mission of connecting people to plants reinforce our intent to be
a garden for all. Through our Center for Global Initiatives, water conservation efforts, Urban Food Initiatives,
horticultural therapy work, diversity outreach and work with veterans, Denver Botanic Gardens is intent on evolving
its relevance and being an institution that exists to serve the entire community.

We are so profoundly blessed to have Denver Botanic Gardens in Colorado to delight the senses and stimulate
the mind. The staff and volunteers work in service to our mission with utmost fidelity. We do it because we believe
that this is the work that will attract all people to the Gardens and in turn nourish them and us.
The Board of Trustees thanks you for your continued support of the work. Without this, much of what we do would
be near impossible and would certainly limit our ability to dream boldly! Please enjoy learning more of what 2014
brought as we prepare for the future. We look forward to seeing you around the Gardens.
