The Waring House Garden presents a four-season display by combining trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and bulbs suitable to the garden’s microclimates on the south side of the Waring House, the elaborate mansion located at 9th and York Street. The horticulturists of Denver Botanic Gardens have experimented with the adaptability of woody plants prevalent in eastern woodlands of the United States and eastern Asia, in essence an "East Meets East" theme. Included in the Waring House Garden are multiple plants from the same genus but native to different parts of the world, an example being a large silver maple (Acer saccharinum) from the eastern United States creating shade for a Japanese maple (Acer palmatum). Several magnolia varieties that are not represented elsewhere in the Gardens flower profusely in mid spring. These plants, mixed with formal walkways, walls, steps and patios, result is an attractive and elegant landscape.

There are seven Colorado State Champion Trees in the Waring House Garden: Chinese dogwood, American hornbeam, Turkish hazelnut, sweet bay magnolia, American hophornbeam, Persian ironwood, columnar Norway spruce, and the largest of the Gardens' champion trees, a Shumard oak. To learn more about these champions, take the Champion Tree Tour.
