I was out in Aurora and thought I would check this place out! I know they have awesome events in the fall and I didn't get to go last fall, but I hope to get there this fall! The place is MASSIVE!! Lots going on everywhere. TONS of plants and there are even random fake plants which was funny to me for some reason! Basically now I know where I can get a replacement plant for whatever plant just died in my apartment! They have a wide and abundant variety of indoor and outdoor plants! They also have a boutique selection of retail merch which was interesting to browse and it also seemed like there was a farmers market and freezer section! It's a great place to go if you need a floral break and need to immerse yourself in colorful petals and greenery! The staff was super friendly and I really loved seeing so many plants that I had really never seen before! The giant cacti were also really cool - something I would save my pennies for! Seems like a great place to pick up a hostess gift too! read more

Hello, my name is Alyssia I've heard and seen lots and lots of comments about this garden market.. because it has been around ever since I can remember. I've seen a lot of community members say Nick's garden market isn't how it used to be. I took it upon myself to see if that was really true, and unfortunately it's a total bummer. Nobody there really knows anything about plants not to mention they don't know how to take care of them either. I would never ever purchase a plant from this garden market again. I had purchased back in February 2026 1 Sweet autumn Clematis vine, and 1 coral honeysuckle vine. Come to find out a couple of weeks later after settling them in my garden at home, the honeysuckle was infested with aphids. I actually called weeks later after trying to save the plant myself by cutting it down completely 2 feet from the ground realizing the frustration that the infestation of aphids wasn't my fault. When I called, the woman that picked up the line didn't share her name. I expressed to this woman that I've had the plant for a little bit and was wondering if there's anyway they can look me up in the system (without receipt) so that we can work something out by me bringing it back. She went ahead and straight up told me "we don't have a system" then let me know that she has been a gardener and has had 30+ years of experience and that honeysuckles are always aphid infested, she also said at Nick's they spray their honeysuckle vines every day and still aren't able to get rid of them. My question is why sell aphid infested vines or if you're going to why not put up a sign alerting other people if you want to buy this there's a risk. I let her know that I actually had more than one species of honeysuckle at my house and none of the other ones were aphid infested. She shut up real quick after that and went ahead and said the best that I can do is give you back $30 for it so you can buy something else. Don't buy your plants here I now go to Tagawa Gardens. They are absolutely amazing, AFFORDABLE and have a real knowledge on all different species of plants Think twice read more

I visited Nick's Garden Center this past Sunday for what should have been a simple trip -- I needed some mulch and a few flowers for my front doorstep. Unfortunately, the experience left me genuinely disappointed. I understand this is a large garden center and the staff fields a lot of questions daily, but that's no excuse for the treatment I received. When I asked for help, I was met with eye rolls, dismissive attitudes, and responses that felt rushed and unhelpful. The rudeness was hard to miss and made what should have been an enjoyable Sunday errand feel like an ordeal. I want to support local businesses, and I had high hopes for this place given its reputation. But basic customer respect shouldn't be too much to ask. I left feeling unwelcome and honestly a bit deflated. I hope management takes staff attitude seriously -- it can make or break a customer's experience. read more

This garden has a large variety of different plants to choose from. I purchased several house plants as well outdoor plants for the patio of my new apartment. The plants are all very well taken care of and healthy. The garden is extremely organized, clean, and well kept. The workers are knowledgeable and gave guidance on how to properly care for the plants I purchased. I also bought some fresh produce. Strawberries, peaches, plums, grapes, and cherries were available at a great price. read more

10/3/26-Just rating them for their fall fest. This year they were not as decorated as last year. For example they didn't have any decorations on the tractor ride to the tunnel of terror like they did last year, that was a little disappointing. The street corn was still my favorite food item there. I recommend going on a week day if you can since the weekends are super busy. They have both free games and pay for activities. The mini golf is playable if you have some limited mobility issues, but wheelchairs and other mobility devices would either have trouble or not be able to do it at all due to uneven rocks and narrow areas for movement. At the same time many of the games the free games are super friendly for people with disabilities. Not only did they have normal garden center stuff for sale, but they also had Halloween themed goods. I also found sugar cube squishies there. We did run into one issue and that is where they lost the 5th star. They had signs up saying that parents had to watch their kids on the activities, but some of the workers were not enforcing it. For us the problem was the mini golf attendant was letting kids in without their parents. The kids behind us on the 1st hole started playing while we were still playing and ended up hitting one of their balls into my mom's hand as she was trying to pick up her ball. I had to tell the kids that they had to wait their turn. Nick's really needs to have employees do their job and enforce kids having to have their parents with them for all activities. read more

We finally made it here when the cafe was open. The green chile has been on my list to try for over 5 years now, at least. The breakfast burritos are $12 but are packed with protein and freshly made. We probably waited around 10 minutes. The burrito is a very generous portion and enough to feed two people if you aren't ravenous. The green chile is a flat heat without much flavor. The heat is inline with medium. I believe they only have one heat level as we weren't asked what we wanted. I didn't think to ask which type of peppers they use. They have a chile stand where they roast them and carry Pueblo, Hatch and many others. The chile sauce is okay, it is just not our preferred flavor for a green chile sauce. Refreshingly, no tip prompt as there is no service but the people working here were quite friendly and helpful. We'd eat here again if we happened to be here when the cafe was open. Note that is it only open seasonally on the weekends during green chile roasting time. Aside from the food, we've bought some great produce and decorations here. It is always a treat to stop in and see what they have. Pricing can be a bit high but I have loved the stuff we have bought, and this is a well run business. read more

This review is solely for the Fall Festival. It's a great event without having to drive out of town for a huge pumpkin patch. Lots of variety of free games and activities for the kids to do (cornhole, corn pit, frog toss, balance games). But man, has the pricing of paid activities gone way up! I understand charging per kid per ride, but feel like charging the parents who are only riding to go along with their child who is unable to ride alone is excessive. One loop on the kiddie train cost me $18 just to accompany my 2 kids! Another $18 to ride the tractor. And so on. So this "free" activity turns expensive VERY quickly. Just keep that in mind!! Also, this year they attempted to maximize their space by putting the maze and photo ops on the outer perimeter, but the problem is the train path goes right up the middle where kids are running around! So, kids running around trying to catch the rings or balls from the games that are right next to the path, or kids running in/out of the maze run directly into the path of the train! My son got his foot run over by the train when he popped out of the maze and didn't see the train coming. The drivers don't even look like they care that much, just honked at him and kept on rolling! I had to grab another kid who was running to his mom and also would've gotten hit at a separate time, and saw so many kids almost get hit in the time we were there! Probably should reconsider the layout and path of the train for future! I will say I do love the roasted chili station -- they have so much variety of peppers available in different spice levels. Smells so good and the chilis are delicious! read more

Tagawa gardens vs Nicks... hands down on Nicks! The support you get with Nicks is second to none, never had an issue and always willing to help! Tagawa gardens I was gifted a tree from my wife's former friend that works there, thought it was nice until the tree was dead... the warranty only works when the owner wants it to work. Then when the owner found out it was a gift from an employee, they decided to refund the money to the employee and leave us with a dead tree. If it wasn't gifted, I would have never gotten a tree from any place other than Nicks....see ya soon! It's important to note I am a 21 year veteran 100% disabled, I can't plant a tree so I need the service, Tagawa knew this and still treated me like crap... not a veteran friendly place. read more

This is a large and well-stocked garden center. They offer a wide variety of products, including sod, landscaping materials, flowers, trees, shrubs--just about anything you might need for your garden or yard. However, the prices tend to be on the higher side. From what I observed, herbs and flowers were typically $2 to $3 more expensive compared to other places like Home Depot. read more

Great to visit any time of the year. If you are looking for somewhere to take the kids without driving really far this is the place to go. During the fall you can come here to get your pumpkins and enjoy the festival. In December/November you can get your Christmas trees here. I love browsing through their shop. They have much more than plants but lots of great gifts and produce. Lots of plant accessories too. Plants here are well taken care of. The staff here are friendly. It does get very crowded though when they are doing special activities. We came a weekend before Halloween for their fall activities and we could not even park in the parking lot and had to park in the nearby neighborhood. Despite the festival crowds, if you have not been here yet you should definitely check them out, especially if you are a plant lover! They've got a huge selection. read more

FUN PUMPKIN PATCH! I took my daughter here to enjoy fall festivities. This was surely fun with so many kids activities to choose from. My daughter's most fav was the tractor ride. The only caveat is the long waiting queues for every single rides. There are lot of photo opportunity as every nook and cranny is loaded with pumpkin / spooky decor. To finish our visit we bought the roasted corn and they were the best toasted corn I have ever had! I would suggest going here on weekday maybe to avoid crowd and queue. read more

Today I decided to go to Nick's Garden Center to buy a specific plant that I need. Unfortunately it is out of season, but I was told that it grows everywhere for free all over Colorado. I'm going to go hunt for it before it starts to get cold. Luckily it's still consistently hot throughout the final days of summer. It won't get cold until October in the 303. It was very refreshing to be around so many plants, flowers, and vegetables. I really enjoyed the fountains. A lot of them were turned on and running water, which was cool. I absolutely adored the tree and bush landscaping part of the garden center. It really made me appreciate how much energy goes into landscaping and gardening. I ended up buying a perfectly ripe watermelon. I wanted to buy a beautiful blue Spruce baby tree, but I have no place to put a tree. Nick's is a great gardening and landscaping establishment. read more

I wrote a poor review of Nick's a year ago, because an employee was rude when I asked for help with designing a xeriscape project. What she and everyone else at Nick's should know, is that the City of Aurora offers free design help, along with rebates on xeriscaping. https://www.auroragov.org/residents/water/landscaping/landscape_design_program read more

Truly the best!! The quality of the plants is comforting. The plants are watered and well cared for before they are purchased. The variety is amazing. We have always been thrilled with the plants and flowers. The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. You may pay a little more but I have found that their plants are worth the price. I have been happily going there for about five years. They have seeds, fixtures, and everything a gardener needs. read more

I just can't get over help beautifully done they did such an amazing job setting this up read more

I guess as flowers are seasonal you need to go at the beginning of the season. I went here a few weeks ago and there really wasn't a good selection and most of the flowers seemed like they were dying and dried out. I bought the least dried out in hopes that they would perk up in natural grounds. Some are. Some I'm still nursing and waiting. The staff was very friendly. read more

Next time tell your "security" creep to chill. You lost 2 customers. My wife and I went there to see if the tamale guy was there on Sunday, he wasn't so we went in the store to browse around since we have been discussing getting plants and decor for our patio, we made it to the center of the store and approached the succulent display (my wife loves them) and we were discussing which ones to get for our little garden project, then this creepy guy in a black shirt and green cargo pants approaches us and asked "do you need anything?" I simply said "no thank you" and he proceeded to walk away; then I heard him radio in a description of my wife and I and our location within the store. I looked to my wife and asked if she heard that, and she said she did, then informed me he had been following us around keeping himself parallel to us the entire time since the moment we walked in. Talk about profiling....to explain this; I am a man that has a lot of tattoos (from my head to arms, neck, etc), shaved head, and a beard, so I'm use to the weird looks but to be stalked in a store like this with my wife was grossly bothersome and then to blatantly describe us on the radio in depth right next to us in a low tone instantly gave me big red flags. He had no badge or identification either to tell us if he actually was security or an employee, or if it was just some creep stalking people in the store on his own terms. Regardless I'm not going to chance it when I'm with my wife, so needless to say we immediately left after feeling immensely uncomfortable. We will not be going back, and to those that enjoy tattoos and art the way I do, just know I doubt you'll be greeted appropriately; just stalked and creeped on. I don't steal, I'm VERY polite, patient and understanding, I work in mental health and run several facilities. Just because I enjoy wearing my art, shouldn't label me as a criminal. Very disappointing, back to Home Depot I guess.... read more

The best garden center around in my opinion. The prices are half of what I would pay in Parker for large houseplants and for veggie starts. The plants are healthy and well cared for.

What a perfect sunny autumn day to discover this huge garden center close to my home. To my delight, this garden center was chock full of fresh produce, healthy plants big and small, and a kids area that even I as an adult enjoyed. There were ring toss games, rubber ducks race, a hay maze, running train that went around their tracks, and much more. Nicks did an excellent job with Halloween decorations throughout the center. Tons of pumpkins to choose from and there were signs telling about the history of Halloween and even some silly Halloween jokes. I could have stayed longer because there was much to see and do. Highly recommend this place for young and adults. Make sure to pick up a big bag of caramel flavored popcorn and a jug of apple cider. Definitely will be back! read more

There were so many learning activities for my granddaughter. As a former master gardener from a different state, I thoroughly enjoyed teaching her how to use the QR codes and get into the nitty gritty of plant families. The way it's played out was simple to explain and enjoyable Went to get a pumpkin and was pleasantly surprised with what was offered for elementary ages children to have non tech fun. Some of the games were difficult to do, an example was the maze in which you had to work with the pulleys Ring toss and other non tech fun items went over well with all the kids I saw Delightful afternoon for 3 generations. read more

Nick's has a tremendous selection--well organized and clearly labeled for easy shopping. We've usually started here when shopping for Spring plants, and 2023 was no exception. I was stoked to see, for the first time in Colorado, healthy specimens of a favorite ornamental cactus. A pair didn't set me back too much, considering I don't have to drive to AZ/CA or buy by mail. However, the green thumb of the house was shocked at price increases since 2022 and we purchased nothing else. Looking to add rose bushes, we found more of the ones we got here last year for $59.99. The price approached $80. Nope. Apparent hikes on soil, pots & other items we need had us heading for the exit. Our disappointment was short-lived, as a 20 minute drive further out onto the plains yielded those same roses for.... $59.99. Sorry, Nick. We love the place, but not the prices. Would we come back? Yes, in a pinch. read more

Nick's Garden Center is such a local gem for families. While it's generally a good place to buy plants and trees, during the fall and holidays, it's so much fun for kids. From the roasted chiles, to the fall festival, to the holiday transformations this place makes with trains, games, and fun for kids, it's become an affordable, fun place for us to take our sons that they really look forward to. Especially during the weekdays during those fun events, Nick's can be a really great way to celebrate a holiday without all of the crazy crowds and high prices. We love Nick's so much, and they really help you get in the mood for various holiday seasons. read more
