The document outlines Sarada Krishnan's vision to bring global relevance to the Denver Botanic Gardens through diverse and sustainable programs. Some key areas of focus include expanding the steppe plant collection through exploration and introducing plants suited to the local climate. The document also discusses past and planned exploration and collection trips to regions like South Africa, Kazakhstan, and Argentina to collect plants from steppe environments that are underrepresented in horticulture but may perform well in Denver's climate. The goal is to serve as a resource for other botanic gardens and offer horticultural training.
