Great selection of plants, pots, and supplies. Kind and helpful staff. Stumbled upon the shop and quickly saw that I had discovered a gem. I'll definitely be adding SW Gardens to my short list of preferred garden shops. read more

Southwest Gardens - Monstera in the shop. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

I've been a regular here for two years now and it was the first plant store I ever visited in Denver. I've always adored this store but after all this time now I see nothing else rivals it. This is the best plant store in Denver. The variety and price is unmatched. The plants are very healthy and everyone there has been a delight every single visit. Some of the plants I've bought here: Large pitcher plant $40 Autograph trees $30 Trailing black pagoda lipstick plant: $25 Heart leaf philodendron trailing: $25 Mature monstera: under $200 Burro's tail in hanging decorative pot: $30 The selection of pots has improved a lot during these past two years. They've always carried my go to favorites, some unglazed affordable ones from Germany, but now they have many more decorative ones, including local hand made ones, and plant stands. I also like their premium pre-mixed soil. read more

Absolutely cutest store ever! Got so many plants! Would totally come back again, it's such a cool place to walk around as well

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! read more

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! read more

Southwest Gardens - 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! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Southwest Gardens is one of my favorite garden centers! They're always well stocked on succulents, orchids and assorted other plants. I'm always excited to see what interesting philodendrons they have in stock. Plants range in price from a couple dollars to over $100, so there's something for everyone. During the summer months they have a number of outdoor plants, particularly sedum and cacti. The thing in particular that keeps me going back is the selection of terra cotta. It's almost always well stocked and I can find whatever I'm looking for, even in the winter. read more

Love this shop! Great selection of cacti and others. Jim is always great help! Highly recommend

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. read more

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!!! read more

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!! read more

Southwest Gardens - Fair garden plant - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

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. read more

Nice selection of exotic plants. Wonderful helpful & friendly staff! Highly recommend!

I love this nursery! It has so many different succulents. He does have a great selection of indoor and outdoor plants as well but he has an amazing assortment of succulents that he grows, propagates, and breeds himself. They have pots, soil, fertilizers, and different soil additives you may need. The owner even gave me a cactus I had been searching for months even though it was his only one. He grew it from a seed and it's an amazing cactus! I have bought several different succulents from here and they are all amazing! This really is an awesome nursery to come to and if you have a chance you should stop in and take a look! read more

Legit local nursery still open during the COVID restrictions (City of Wheat Ridge has a mask order - don't forget to bring one with you since it's required inside the store). Awesome selection of indoor and outdoor plants, plus a large section of succulents and - more importantly for summer planting session - vegetables and herbs for the garden! We were able to check everything off our planter bed list (tomatoes, squash, eggplant, lettuce, chard, spinach, shishito peppers, etc) with the exception of gold cherry tomatoes (sold out - apparently very popular) and tomatillos. For any sold-out items, they re-stock regularly, so we'll be back soon to grab those last few elusive items. Prices are reasonable and the store is bigger inside than it looks from the street, so you should be able to find everything you're looking for. The staff is friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable - and they will gladly offer to help you load any heavy items (i.e., bags of soil) into your car for you. Great local business with so many cool plants to check out... read more

Excellent selection of cacti and extremely helpful staff. This is the best nursery I've been to on the west side of Denver.

Wow!! I happened to be in the area and stopped by to see if they had a nice cactus soil mix. They did (a house blend for only 2.50 a bag!) and I was also pleasantly surprised to find an abundance of succulents, cacti, ferns, pothos, herbs, etc. in the greenhouse. They have large plants and small versions of those same plants alike - I love this because it's so much more affordable! Everything was extremely well priced and they did a wonderful job making mask restrictions a clear rule. I felt safe and happy. Thank you Southwest! I'll be back! read more

I'm so excited I found this place! I've never seen so many happy, healthy plants in one place before. We even got a private tour of their back greenhouse! As always, I had a million questions, and they happily answered them all. Their prices are way better than the surrounding garden centers I've been to recently. They should only have one dollar sign, not two. read more

Knowledgable, trustworthy and helpful. Their prices are competitive, but you'll get a lot more for your money compared to larger chain stores in the way of advice, quality of plants and hard-goods and variety/uniqueness of offerings. Cool story, I had a large pickup order and in the loading process left without a bunch of items. They called me before I was even home/noticed. Just the fact I didn't have to call in speaks volumes. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. We come by every weekend to feed our plant addiction. Everyone here is so great and have been able to answer so many questions. They have the best variety of plants and pots is the best around. Plus they have a kitty named Monster. read more

Loves this nursery and plant selection... definitely on par with the plant trends ie monstera, succulents. If you need dozens of succulents for party favors, this is seriously the best place to go. Reason for 4 stars is simply the parking situation, so be prepared. I don't mind walking luckily. read more

This local garden shop was really cute. I got a really fair priced begonia and pepparomia plant. The staff was helpful and they had great prices on gray/white terra-cotta pots. They had a nice even selection of indoor plants as well as several outdoor plants as well. I'll definitely come back in the future read more

Southwest Gardens - Pepparomia for 30, Begonia for 18. Amazing prices for beautiful plants - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

This place is awesome. Great selection. Fair prices. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff

Great plants and great prices ! Succulent variety during certain parts of the year are unmatched ! Will be back.

I love this place so much that I drive half an hour across town to make a visit every once in a while! Their selection of succulents is amazing... since they propagate and grow them in their nursery rather than shipping all of them over, will make the plants more acclimated to Colorado's environment and they don't have shipment stress. I was able to find so many cute and hard to find succulents here. They also have small arrangements they make so you can get a variety for a steal! You can even pick out a few succulents and have them pot it up for you which helps a lot if you live in an apartment. The staff have always been soooo helpful and I was even able to call in when I was in a rush to find quality orchid bark. They made big bags of them that I could purchase and use that evening. The girl that works there is so sweet and willing to answer all questions. I've talked to the owner a little bit and I can tell he has a passion for his plants. The prices of the succulents are UNBEATABLE. Even though they have succulents that I never find in big box stores, they are the same prices as the big box stores, it's unbelievable. I find the same plants online for double or triple their prices. The pots and soil materials are priced well for house plants as well. I always try to buy my soil needs from here if I can. I recommend this nursery to everyone! I love finding harder to find plants and this nursery provides! Also, it's nice to admire their mature monstera deliciosa. Support a local business and go here! read more

HORRIBLE PLACE!!! Every single succulent was marked sold!!! And then one worker said he could sell some of the sold ones, and then another worker said none of ALL the succulents that they had were for sale!!! And then he said the only succulents that we're for sale was one row of CACTUS!!! That's not a succulent!! Extremely rude and unprofessional and unorganized!!! Would absolutely not recommend! read more

Such a great array of plants to choose from! I got a few succulents, a Prickly Pear cactus, and a ton of pots. They have great quality plants and are very helpful! Really enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be coming back for more plants. read more

What a wonderful surprise! I was on this side of town and I love checking out new nurseries/plant shops. The store/nursery is lovely! They have a great selection and lots of hard to find plants.

I'm gladly adding this place to my list of plant places I love! read more

I cannot say enough good things about SW. They are my go-to nursery. The quality of their plants is outstanding. Their prices simply cannot be beat. I regularly find wish list plants here. Follow their Instagram to see weekly drops! Their employees are always helpful when you need them and they rarely have staff turnover - it looks like their employees actually enjoy working here. I've become a regular at this nursery and could not have been happier to find them. read more
