COLORADO IMAGES AND STORIES
Digital photo shows and narratives by author Niki Hayden:
Colorado’s Secret Gardens: Private gardens never opened to the
public with fascinating stories--each of these gardens opens a
new world to gardeners. A child’s secret garden, gardens of romantic
old-fashioned roses, a
Victorian French garden, prairie gardens and native plants--our gardens create
serene landscapes that renew and refresh the soul.
One Hundred Years of Colorado Antiques and Historic Homes: Antiques
are objects that allow us to catch a glimpse of past eras. Whether it’s the
cowboy mystique or English silver, Colorado is home to fascinating characters
and historical tidbits revealed through the homes and artifacts left behind. We’ll
take a journey than uncovers personalities and places, from the mining towns to the prairie farms, to bring some of those
decades to life.
 Twelve Months of Colorado: This trip is for the armchair traveler who
yearns to visit all of Colorado through a year of seasons. Mountain wildflowers
in the summer, prairie vistas in autumn, winter twilight in the foothills and
spring sojourns in the desert. Places, people and wildlife are woven together
with stories culled from off-the-beaten-track.
Wild Gardens: Colorado is filled with microclimates from lush,
fern-filled riverbanks to arid canyons. We’ll visit unique gardens that only
nature designed. Blue columbines the size of teacups, misty canyons, acres of
sunflowers, waterfalls, alpine natural rock gardens and more. The wild gardens
in our state are spectacular and a never-ending source of ideas for our own home
gardens.
A Grandmother’s Garden: Heirloom gardens and plants that have been
in Colorado for at least 100 years can form the backbone of vigorous selections.
This show includes historic gardens in Colorado as well as many of the choices
our grandparents planted long ago. Old garden roses, bearded irises, lilacs,
peonies and grapevines survive today, even when attended infrequently. Cottage
gardeners and those who love the history of plants are drawn to these timeless
beauties.
