Oh how we love this fantastic 'everything comes to life' month in Colorado! It is also the month we celebrate all the Mothers in our lives and also kick off the summer with a long Memorial Day weekend.

The greenhouses are bursting at the seams waiting for consistently warm weather to arrive. Many of you have already been in buying newly received trees and shrubs, exploring the nursery, and checking out our stunning and locally famous hanging baskets. It's been so nice seeing old friends and making so many new ones. Welcome everyone!



May Hours:

Weekdays 8-6, Saturdays 8-5, Sundays 9-4

Join us for a day filled with fun and excitement, as our way of saying 'Thank You Moms', for all that you do for so many ❤️

On Mother’s Day (May 11), all moms visiting us will receive a complimentary 4-pack of Annual Flowers, perfect for brightening up her garden. But that’s just the beginning. From 10am to 1pm we will have the ever-popular FREE face painting fun in the greenhouse with Snappy Face Painting. As the afternoon rolls in, the fun gets a bit more grown-up with Live Music provided by the talented and interactive duo "Sarah P and the Dirty Logger" starting at 1pm and rolling until 4pm. Of course some treats and drinks will be on site all day. Also remember that this is generally the day when our very special hanging baskets literally fly out the door so come with an empty back seat or two to carry yours home 🌺

This Mother’s Day, come celebrate with us and make unforgettable memories with your family. We can’t wait to have you here.

THE GREENHOUSES ARE IN FULL BLOOM

REMINDER: Greenhouse plants have been living in 'ideal' conditions thus far this year. A process called 'Hardening Off' is important to ensure their successful transition to your outdoor spaces.

Holy Grasshoppers!

While a definitive 2025 Colorado grasshopper forecast isn't available yet, it's highly likely that grasshopper populations will be high again in 2025, potentially matching or even exceeding the levels seen in 2024, which were one of the worst on record. Colorado State University Extension Services have indicated that drought conditions and the warm, dry conditions of the past year have created favorable conditions for grasshopper outbreaks. 

We have a solution! Eco Bran is used for controlling various insect pests, particularly grasshoppers, crickets, and other chewing insects. It contains 2% carbaryl, an insecticide, impregnated onto a wheat bran carrier with attractants. Eco Bran is environmentally sensitive, targeting only insects with chewing mouthparts and is effective when consumed by the pest. It has minimal impact on beneficial insects, including bees and this 2lb bag covers approximately 2 acres depending on your distribution rate.

If you want exceptional outdoor pots this year or just want to take a break from designing and planting them yourselves, let our Custom Container Planting Program do it for you! We will plant your outdoor pots with a one of a kind, high quality design that will be unlike any other basket or container you could 'just buy'. We specialize in specific mixes that are either just plain stunning or those that cater to pollinators and / or critter resistance. This service is available to both residential and commercial clients and can be utilized just once or all year long.
