This was such a fun German holiday market. The food was amazing and we actually came back just to…read moresatisfy our cravings for the German/European offerings. Our first trip was on an incredibly cold day - definitely winter vibes happening with all the festive booths and snow on the ground. Our first stop was to enjoy warm mulled wine. As we have not been to Germany, this was a great time. The market was in a new location at the Auraria Campus / Tivoli Quad in Denver. The layout was really well done, with lots of areas for dining, shopping, games, indoor eating area, a massive holiday tree and even a carousel. Admission is free but parking isn't, so definitely plan for that. We had a blast watching the glass blowing demonstrations, eating brats, sauerkraut and German sausages. We had pastries and gingerbread men also. Shopping booths (40 or so) were spread out and offered so many holiday items. along with glass ornaments, nesting dolls, beer steins and other unique items. There were lots of green space and games to keep folks busy as they ate, took a break or just enjoyed the day while others shopped. Inside the tent, there was also live music and areas to sit down and enjoy your meal on those cold days. Servers were super friendly, helpful and generally in a great mood. We definitely spent some money, but nothing more than you'd expect for a holiday market. We're looking forward to this market next year!

We really enjoy this market, so much so that we went three different times this year in the week we…read morespent in Denver. We also went last year. I do think it was a little bit better this year in the Tivoli quad. It just felt more spread out, and it was more on paved foot paths than the mostly uneven grass at the park. They decorate everything so festively and the giant mega tree is always fun and it was easier to get into this year as well to see from the underside. This year, even though we came late in the season, we were able to score a commemorative mug so that was cool for me. Most of the vendors are very nice and accommodating even though it's very very busy. I had an amazing pretzel this year and even more amazing cinnamon sugar almonds. The prices are high for most things, but that's kind of to be expected for this type of market. And there are some pretty unique things that are worth paying a little bit more for. All in all, I'll probably be back again next year, even though I don't even live in Denver.

Pine Lane Nursery was recommended to me as a nursery with a large selection, reasonable prices, and…read moreknowledgeable, friendly people. They did not disappoint! I replaced a large part of my lawn with xeriscaping and was looking for several plants to layout a beautiful pollinator friendly, drought resistant landscape with three seasons of colors. Debra was very knowledgeable and so helpful as she took me around to pick out a perfect selection of plants (three carts worth). They are all planted now and look beautiful! This is my new garden center!

We had been customers of another nursery in town but decided to try Pine Lane as the landscaper we…read moreare hiring does his buying here. While the selection wasn't huge it was more than adequate. Brianna, an employee, saw we were picking plants and jumped in to help. And help she did - splendidly. Her customer service and just knowledge helped us find just what we were looking for and where there were sales prices directed us accordingly. She was just pleasant and fun to work with. That led us to Anna, at checkout. She was as nice as could be, packed our plants into manageable cardboard forms so we could get everything easily into my car. My entire experience was friendly and helpful. These are just good folks who deserve our business - and likely yours.
