Garden Center
Welcome to The Windsor Gardener!
Amanda and Pat Weakland began their greenhouse adventure in 1991 with Plant-A-Scape, a small seasonal greenhouse in Windsor, Colorado. Pat represents the third generation of growers in his family and grew up working in his father's greenhouse in Longmont. Amanda grew up helping on her family's farm and has nurtured a love of gardening ever since.

June is perennial plant month!
Tips for growing perennials in Colorado:
- Start with plants that are actually hardy in Colorado from a local garden center.
- Amend our heavy clay soil with well aged manure or compost. 1/3 amendment to 2/3 original soil.
- Use Super Phosphate or a liquid root stimulator to help new plants get established faster and avoid transplant shock.
- Don't assume because they are hooked up to your drip irrigation system that they are getting watered properly. New plants may require more attention than older established plants.
- Even drought tolerant xeriscape plants need regular watering to get roots established before they are as drought tolerant as advertised.
- Use Plantskydd to keep pesky rabbits away from young plants.
It's getting HOT out!
Summer is officially here and with it comes some hot temperatures. Your hanging baskets and annual containers will need to be thoroughly watered daily, possibly twice a day. When you water it should run out the bottom of the pot. Roses, veggies, perennials and other newly planted landscape plants may go into shock with these hot temperatures. Questions about how/when to water or what is going on with your plants stop by and talk with our knowledgeable staff, we are here to help.
Exciting changes in 2025!
Like in nature if you want to survive you need to adapt to an everchanging environment. Plants and gardening are continuing to grow more and more popular while the beverage industry is struggling. We love being here to assist you with your gardening and plant needs while providing some delicious drinks as well. To best utilize the space we have we are shrinking the size of our tasting rooms and using more space for the greenhouse. We are excited to show you all of the hard work we've put in this winter. Stop in and check out our exhilarating transformation and sip on a beverage while you shop!
Check Out High Hops Brewery & The Heart Distillery, both located inside of The Windsor Gardener!
