Front Range Plant Sales 2019 - Not to be Missed!

Unlike the last two winters that really didn't seem or act like winter, this year we're ready for spring, more than ready. The sun feels warm on our faces and is hard at work melting snow and frozen soil. Hurry up!

Until it's go time a reminder probably isn't necessary to stroll your landscape and look for opportunities, that's planting opportunities with open real estate. While strolling, discover a shady spot to tuck in a new chaise lounger with a comfy pad. 
Denver Rose Society Volunteers at the DBG Plant Sale

First on your list should include saving the dates for local plant societies, clubs and organization's plant sales along the Front Range. Many are non-profit and have been hosting for several years with a strong following. Dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to make these sales a success. They often sell out of plants which is good for everyone (and the plants).

Remember that your local garden independent retailers will be stocked to the brim with plants, supplies and accessories all through the growing season.
 
There are plenty of plants out there that need good homes.

  1. I am wondering what types of flowers I can put in to fill in my garden. My early spring flowers (daffodils, tulips, etc.) are all done and my summer flowers aren't blooming yet. As I head to plant sales this weekend, what colorful blooms can I consider to fill in?

  3. Hello - there are many blooming plants to consider for your outdoor garden. Look at what is being offered for sale and try to match the bloom times you desire, sun and soil location. Garden centers will have the most plants to select from and they generally divide them according to type - perennial, annual, groundcover, etc. The independent plant sales listed above may have more of a vegetable focus, some may offer other plants as well. Have fun!
