We all struggle with certain plants and we’ve all faced some sort of natural “disaster”.

What are some plants you struggle with?

Why are some bugs/fungus/virus do you struggle with?

Rosie, our Wire-Haired Whatever, has emerged from her hovel and declared she has seen her shadow. We are virtually guaranteed another six weeks of the bitterest winter on record. Or so the legend says…

Given our penchant for not following convention and waiting just a wee bit longer, we decided to show off our first loaded tray of the season. We have no idea what it’ll go in first, but this year we have chosen some spectacular varieties from around the world.

Whatever is planted in this tray will be pretty amazing.

Our plan is to start over 4,000 plants this year. It’s a pretty big undertaking. Our fingernails will look atrocious. One (or all of us) may show signs of chafing.

But it will be worth the effort to bring you the best starters available in at least Larimer and Weld County.

Boulder doesn’t count.

Super happy to partner with Arboretum Coffee on our latest reclamation effort. This planter is a combination of many different woods from a few different projects. It consists of oak, pine, maple, and some unknown varieties that add a splash of color and texture variance.

Not only do we grow starters designed for Northern Colorado, but we also rescue textiles and wood destined for the landfill for various projects year round. We are committed to helping people realize big ideas from small spaces.

Our last market of the season! Come on down to the Fort Collins Farmers Market and fill your garden with locally grown goodness.

Since it’s our last market, every pepper and tomato plant is only $3! We also have tomato packs (6 plants in a pack) for $8. We have limited quantities on some varieties, so hurry down before they’re gone.

And one last thing: thank you all for supporting our little business! It’s been a great year so far and the growth we’ve seen is all due to your support.
