About the author
The Colorado Forestry and Horticultural Association was not an individual author but a Colorado organization devoted to gardening, trees, and landscape education. Archival records describe it as taking shape in 1944, when the Colorado State Forestry Association merged with the Denver Society of Ornamental Horticulture.
The group published newsletters and magazines for members, including The Green Thumb, with articles on plant care, horticulture, and gardening in Colorado’s demanding conditions. Its mission centered on sharing reliable information, encouraging planting and maintenance of trees and gardens, and helping preserve Colorado’s natural beauty.
The association also became part of a larger story in Colorado horticulture. Historical records note that it later merged with the Botanic Garden Foundation of Denver in 1960, contributing to the organization that became the Denver Botanic Gardens.
