It’s the perfect time of year for a picnic, and the Denver Botanic Gardens will prove it frmo 6 to 8 p.m. tonight, when the venue at 1005 York Street hosts a Tapas Picnic. You bring the place setting, and then fill it with easy and delicious small bites — shrimp and chorizo, marinated olives, spiced nuts, Sicilian bruschetta, artichoke pate and goat cheese tapenade, pesto and roasted red pepper torta.
