A number of years ago my yard was landscaped with dozens of flowering bushes. Each spring & summer…read moreI was blessed with literally thousands of beautiful blooms. As I have aged more & more of the yard's care has gone undone to the point that none of my plants bloomed this year. This year I contacted Chris & asked her to rescue my plants. She carefully explained that my plants may take more than a year to recover, but she started them on the road to recovery. So far she has spent time trimming & shaping the plants. She has taken bags of old, dead growth out of each bush. They have been fertilized. Slowly they are beginning to grow back & look healthy again. Next spring I will see some flowers & the following year I will have my beautiful yard again. When that happens I will share pictures. In the meantime, I get complements every day about how much better my yard looks after every visit Chris makes. She's the greatest thing to happen at my house in many years. Having her visit is the greatest gift you could give your yard & yourself. Marilyn

I do stop by from time-to-time, though. It dates back to 1959, so hitting 67 years now in 2026. They offer a comprehensive collection of trees and shrubs; fruit trees and shrubs; rose bushes; perennial flowers and grasses; annual flowers; container gardens/hanging baskets; vegetables; herbs; indoor plants and tropicals; seeds and bulbs; fertilizers; mulches; pots; planters; weed, pest, and animal control; gardening products and tools; garden decor; bird feeding; home decor and gifts; and holiday decorations. Services include delivery, planting, and a team of plant doctors expert in identification, disease, and pests. The Web site is, unfortunately, very dated and only formatted for a large-screen device. It does not contain a full stock inventory, but only general information. This facility is large, well-stocked and well-organized. There's a very nice parking lot with lots of room. The staff is helpful. I would say, after some comparative shopping, that the prices are generally very high.

I was looking for some plants for the south side of my house in Golden, CO. My new xeriscape had…read morereplaced all my sod with rock. I wanted to add some interest so that I wouldn't have just rock everywhere, but this south side of the house has no drip line. Perhaps some cacti and other southwestern plants would be appropriate? I made my way down to the local nursery and found this cute potato cactus. Rather than the typical plastic stick with planting instructions, the plastic stick found in the little plant casing said www.coldhardycactus.com. I went to this website to see how to plant and care for this cutie, and lo and behold--an entire cactus website run out of a location right down the road in Lakewood, Colorado! They sell quite a variety of cacti, yucca, agave, all the southwestern plants you might find in a desert environment, carefully studied and developed to be cold hardy for Colorado. I promptly scheduled an in-person tour of the plants, which you can do online. When I arrived, Kelly, a horticulturalist, showed me around the yard and greenhouses and told me about all the plants that he grows. He knows absolutely everything about them, and loves to convey his knowledge about their origination, hybridizations, and ability to withstand our environs in planting zones 4, 5, 6, etc. My house resides in zone 5. Based on Kelly's guidance and my own taste in plants, I walked away with a combination of cacti and succulents; from your traditional spiny cacti to beautiful flowering gentle varieties with smoother paddles. With my brown thumb, and the little 1.5-2" pots, I was wary about their outcome. However, you can see below the pictures that I took in May, 2025. They survived beautifully, and in fact are thriving! I have to admit that the succulents did not make it through the winter. I suspect I did not provide enough water for them after planting, or maybe the site just isn't right, but I couldn't be more happy and proud of the many cacti that are happy in my yard. In one year, some have at least doubled in size! I recently paid Kelly another visit this fall, and purchased some yuccas and agaves this time to fill in some holes in my landscape. I have some pictures below of these babies. I'm excited about the prospect of a southwestern cactus garden in my south yard! If you have want to add a little bit of interest to your yard with an unusual touch, or even just want to create an indoor cactus/succulent arrangement, I highly highly recommend visiting ColdHardyCactus.com. If you live in the Denver metro area you can pick them up from Kelly, but he also ships them anywhere.

If you're a cactus lover like myself, but live in climates known to freeze, then buying from Cold…read moreHardy Cactus is the answer! The selection- varieties across all genus species. The sizes- from compact to huge. The colors- non-blooming to show-stoppers. The knowledge- zones, growth, care. The prices- incredibly affordable for such rarity! I live in Austin, TX which is nearly perfect for all types of cacti, but we do experience the occasional freeze (like this week ), but these cacti are one less worry I have when protecting all my cold-tender plants. I planted my selections around November and they had plenty of time to root since we stay pretty warm until January. Excited to see what the spring holds for new growth and I'll certainly be adding to my in-ground collections!
