Doctor of Plant Health! What a fun doctorate. One question I've never been able to get answered about the Denver Botanic Gardens is if or when you fertilize. From a Plant Health perspective, is fertilization in decent soil necessary? What about micronutrients? Or even compost? Some of the DBG plants grow bigger and lusher. (like the Eremerus most years) than when I grow the same plants from the same sources in other gardens. I'm sure you water more, but what kind of fertilizing does a Botanic Garden do to make everything look spectacular. I already figured out years ago that well-placed water features help your plants a lot.
