Our 10th Annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off is now in the books! Dozens of pumpkin growers and our largest festival crowd to date gathered here last Saturday to create a truly unforgettable event. This year’s competition featured 23 entries in multiple categories from some of the top growers in the region. The day’s top prize went […]
by Beverly Henke What does the word pumpkin bring to your mind? I think of holidays, and pie, and of my own somewhat pitiful, but very sincere and prolific pumpkin patch. I think of all the pumpkins I’ve carved, both as a child, and with my own children and the memories that were created from […]
We generally think of spring – a time of new growth and life – as the time to plant everything including trees & shrubs. However, cooler temperatures make fall an excellent time to plant. The soil is warmer than in the spring, and many of us actually have more time to devote to planting trees […]
By Jesse Eastman I’m often a bit surprised when people come to the nursery looking for a definitive answer to a question. They can get frustrated and sometimes outright angry when they get different answers to the same question depending on which employee they speak with. While this is an understandable response, it’s important to […]
We garden in Colorado! We know the heartbreak of the 5 or 10 minute storm that can undo 500 hours of hard work. When hail strikes—what’s a gardener to do? Wait a day or two. Let the sun shine and the anger subside. The damage will be easier to evaluate after some time has passed. […]

By Pat Hayward Spring is here and that means we’re receiving deliveries from two of the region’s most talented local, independent growers: Kelly Grummons (The Cactus Man), and Kirk Fieseler (the “Conifer Guy,” Laporte Avenue Nursery). We thought you’d enjoy getting to know these two nursery folks and the unique plants they’re producing for local […]
by Jesse Eastman Last year’s canned tomatoes are nearly gone. The “fresh” produce at the grocery store is starting to look a little bit suspect. If you have to spend one more day dreaming about spring instead of actually doing something, you might just freak out. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Statistics show […]
