is Denver Botanic Gardens’ Bonsai Collection open in winter?

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.

Yes, I've been too many times now to count. Really fantastic...my dream would be to live in that huge house at the back of the gardens.

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!

Speaking of Denver
Is there even any good bonsai stores around anymore? The one I knew of closed

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.
