String of pearls
Christina S.

I don't know how I found out about this nursery, I think I saw them on Instagram or something but either way when I had about 40 min in between hair appointments I figured I would check out a close by nursery and low and behold they came up as saved as want to go on my Google maps and were only 12 min. It was meant to be! So I get there and wander in and as I am looking down the rows of plants I am not only blown away by how happy all these plants are but how reasonably priced they are! They had Pothos with leaves larger than my hands. Massive lush string of pearls that were only $40! A beautiful fiddle that was a steal for the size ans quality! They even had various rare plants as well! Just wow! I have never seen so many happy and healthy plants. I almost felt bad taking them home when they were thriving! This is hands now my new favorite plant store! I am already planning my next visit!

Just got these adenium babies from Southwest Gardens and repotted them! Prices are the most reasonable I've seen in all of Denver so far!

Oh my goodness! I've had this spot bookmarked for the longest time on yelp, but I live in the suburbs so the drive was always daunting. I was around the neighborhood though and decided to stop by and am I glad that I did! Don't know if I'll be going to any other plant store from here on out (OK that's a lie, I probably will because I'm addicted to houseplants, but hear me out) - because this place seriously has the most reasonable prices I've so far seen in all of Denver! Plus they have a humongous selection to choose from. I got two baby desert roses and they were $6 each, I couldn't be more excited! I had to stop myself from buying other plants (anything from Hoyas to pothos to goldfish plant to calatheas to you name it), several other gorgeous succulents that had hard to beat prices and buying more pots, of which they also have a very large and adorable selection. The employees were nice and helpful, and there are some parking spots in front and around the side. Overall I will definitely be back!

We loved this place so much, we wished they were in California, too. What an amazing abundance of succulents, cacti, and rare plants they have! The staff are very helpful to answer all questions. Additionally, many nice looking pots of various colors, shapes and sizes are in-stock. They will also re-pot your selections nicely and add a top layer of pebbles, which adds a nice touch.

Hands down my favorite nursery in Denver. Fair prices. Amazing, passionate, and hardworking owner. Great selection of healthy and DIFFERENT plants. Worth the drive even from Fort Collins!

Front entrance!

Awesome little local business that's been here for YEARS! They have everything you need from top soil to planting pots,house plants and outdoor plants , succulents and so much more! It's a small building but they piled so much inside, make sure you have time to look around! PRO TIP: get there before 10am! The parking is very limited and they have one card reading machine so if you arrive after the crowds you will be waiting in line a while PRO TIP #2: BRING CASH PRO TIP #3: have FUN!!!

Fair garden plant

I stopped by a couple of weeks ago, and I walked out with a new little plant that is thriving! I'm not sure what it is but it was labeled as "fairy garden plant" or something along the lines. Walking around, a lot of the plants were "sold, just planted or not for sale" and I believe that shows the level of care they have for their plants and trust they have from customers. Their succulents are the best priced succulents, even Lowe's can't beat it (plus they're in wayyyyyyyy better shape). I will definitely be making the drive to buy more plants!!

GORGEOUS mature Monstera

A solid spot for houseplants. Great selection of plants of all sizes. Some prices seemed like an absolute steal, while others were more in line with higher end plant boutiques. Staff was friendly but not pushy at all which I appreciate- usually I like to be left to browse in peace. It's clear that this place really cares for their plants. A good chunk of the plants on the shelves around the periphery were marked as sold, not for sale, or just planted. They looked ready for sale to me, but it goes to show that they aren't just looking to make a quick buck, they want to be sure their plants are healthy and established enough before going to their forever homes. My only minor critique would be that I wish plants were all marked with names and care suggestions (lighting, watering frequency, any other hints). I'm positive someone would have given me this information had I asked, but I really love it when places send you home with little slips of all that good stuff.

Plants and house blend of cacti soil!

Echter's is a large-scale nursery, garden center, and patio store, unfortunately somewhat far away…read morefrom me as it is way up in Arvada from my central Denver location. 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.

My daughter wanted to get houseplants and I went with her to check out this nursery. It's a heckuva…read moredrive from southeast Aurora, but my daughter felt their prices were more reasonable than Tagawas. I did find some great plants and soil and fertilizer. The man at checkout was very kind as were the employees we saw throughout the nursery. I'd love to come back in early summer to check out their vegetables. One note: I did notice a large amount of fungus gnats everywhere. Eww.
