BonFils Theatre was also here at Elitch's Gardens and in the fall, they would have a sale on the wonderful hanging baskets full of flowers weighing almost 50-100 pounds. We used to purchase them for our home. The ballroom was also wonderful to visit and the walks among the flowers, no matter where you were in the park was one of the most beautiful in the world.Those of us who lived there during the glamorous years have memories as do our children that can never be erased. I have no desire to see their modern version. Denver used to be a beautiful place to live but like all cities, it succumbs to greed.

Actually the thing I always think of when I think about the old Eliych Gardens is the nasty gum tree. Nobody could look away from it.
