Our Power, Our Planet

Join us for a three-day celebration of simple, meaningful ways to grow better gardens and a healthier planet—right here in Colorado Springs. This year’s theme, Our Power, Our Planet, highlights how small, everyday choices in our gardens can make a big impact.

We will have 20% OFF ALL HARDY LANDSCAPE PLANTS
Perennials, trees, shrubs, roses, vines, cactus, and herbs will all be included—just in time for spring planting.

Pollinator Kits!
Back by popular demand, our hardy perennial pollinator packs will be available and on sale—an easy way to support bees and butterflies right at home.

Fun for the whole family!
Bring the kids along for a full lineup of hands-on activities including a scavenger hunt, planting a seed to take home, and creative nature crafts like DIY binoculars and more.

Get Inspired to Garden Smarter
