Spring is here in Crested Butte and our local garden centers are opening soon! With our days getting longer and warmer, now is the time to start planning your flower beds, gardens and landscaping. We have a very short growing season here in Crested Butte. The extreme weather and high altitude limits our options however the experts at our local garden centers can help you plan your perfect garden or flower bed.
The Alpengardener is scheduled to open both of their garden centers in the upcoming week. Their Gunnison location is scheduled to open on May 1st and their Crested Butte location on May 7th. The Alpengardener specializes in quality landscaping, garden maintenance, garden design, and custom potting. They also offer spring clean and fall cutback services. Both garden centers are open to the public and feature beautiful hanging baskets, flowering plants and shrubs as well as gardening supplies.
Another one of our great local garden centers is Rocky Mountain Trees & Landscaping. Their nursery is located in Riverland where you will find they carry Colorado native trees, flowers, shrubs and gardening supplies. They also offer landscape installation and maintenance. In addition, Rocky Mountain Trees & Landscaping offers holiday decorating for both the interior and exterior of your home.
