The Denver Botanic Gardens is a public botanical garden located in Denver, Colorado in the Cheesman Park neighborhood. The 23-acre (93,000 m2) park contains a conservatory, a variety of theme gardens and a sunken amphitheater, which hosts various concerts in the summer. Woody Allen's 1973 movie Sleeper filmed some scenes at the gardens.
The Japanese Garden at the Denver Botanic Garden is called Shofu-en -- the Garden of Wind and Pines. It was designed by Koichi Kawana.
The Denver Botanic Gardens, along with nearby Cheesman Park and Congress Park, sit atop what used to be the city's cemetery. Although many of the bodies were removed in the 1950s, graves have been found as recently as 2008 during construction of an underground parking structure.
