Echters Greenhouse, Arvada

Since it planted roots in the community in 1959, Echter's Nursery & Garden Center has gradually expanded into a sprawling complex comprising lush greenhouses and a retail store dedicated to beautifying outdoor spaces. The shop’s display area encompasses a staggering 70,000 square feet, and includes a patio shop with benches and outdoor furniture, a wildlife department with birdhouses and sasquatch feeders, a garden center with sustainable soils and fertilizers, and an acre of perennials, shrubs, and trees. Patrons can also purchase pottery or house plants to enhance the home or grab tips from one of the center's plant doctors, all of whom boast at least a decade’s worth of experience.
