ith longer days and busier nights, time seems to speed up in the spring. After the constant parade of Spring Break visitors, Vail’s festival season opens up in earnest. Taste of Vail, Vail Film Festival, SpringFest, Spring Back to Vail, Feast Vail — it’s nonstop action through Easter. Let the sunshine in.

We want to get a jumpstart on spring with bright colors, high-energy designs and breezy window treatments. See our story on blown glass for a colorful explosion of fine and fragile art. Or peruse the feature on getting your gardening game plan together before the snow melts.

Check the market update section and read about our local real estate inventory. The number of available properties is shrinking, and the number of sales is growing. It can get pretty competitive out there, so it’s a good time to enlist the guidance and experience of a REALTOR. Our organization, its members and partners exist to provide the most informed, ethical and comprehensive options for clients and their real estate needs for both primary and secondary residences.

hat better way is there to beat the winter blues than incorporating some energizing colors into your interior? Have no fear, bright colors can be used in large or small doses to enhance any space. From floors to walls to pillows to bath towels, color can cohabitate just about anywhere.

Stop by The Linen Kist for a colorful shower curtain or hand towels to add a punch of color in your bathroom. Bright yellow and pink can open sleepy eyes and start the day running.

Bright colors are the name of the game at Creative Floors in Edwards. “Area rugs do not need to be bland and boring.

You can change an entire room with a bright pop of color on the floor,” says Creative Floors owner Shannon Elicker. “Bright colors on your floor don’t have to be reserved for carpet or area rugs, either. Wood comes in a variety of colors while still maintaining the natural beauty of its grain. The key is using the right designer who is not afraid of color and knows how to pull it all together.”

Uniquely your own, wallpaper can speak volumes. One accent wall, maybe a ceiling or the entire room can be the canvas for a bright color. Be brave and embrace color.

1183 Cabin Circle | Vail Golf Course When you see the views from this residence, it is no wonder why it was the chosen location for one of the first Vail Valley homesteads and original site of the Pulis cabin. Located on a rare and large lot at nearly .75-acre, with breathtaking down-valley views across the Vail Golf Course to expansive views of the Gore Range Mountains, this home sits on a private cul-de-sac with only three other homes. Despite being just a short walk/bike ride to Vail Village, you can also hop on the free shuttle and in just two stops be dropped at right at the slopes in Golden Peak. An additional 2,400 square feet can be added to the existing home or take advantage of a wonderful redevelopment opportunity to build a palatial retreat of over 10,000 square feet. This a rare opportunity for the right buyer.

Vail Golf Course Townhome #64 (1738 Golf Lane) With its premier location within the Vail Golf Course Townhomes, beautifully renovated stone bathrooms, lovely hardwood floors and renovated kitchen with slab granite, this home is a huge value. The new owner has a great opportunity to add value and enjoyment with the addition of a back deck and outdoor living area. This unit is just far enough away from the pool and golf course clubhouse to avoid noise but provide great access, and the free golf course shuttle offers convenient and direct transportation to the slopes.

1772 Alpine Drive | Vail This home is located less than 2 miles from Golden Peak and less than one mile from Vail lift access in Vail Cascade. Just one bus stop up on the free shuttle and you are dropped right to Cascade Vail area or you can ski in directly to your garage via legal backcountry access from Vail Mountain. With six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, abundant storage, a family room/media game room, back patio with private hot tub (heated walk way to tub), an oversized two-car garage with a huge separate storage area, a wrap around deck, elevator, and quite possibly one of the best layouts I have seen for its lot.

It is only one mile from Golden Peak, which makes summer walks and bike rides to town a delight for owners and guests. This unit is just steps from the beautiful pool area, open in the summer months. Fully furnished.

or both. A navy blue room looks regal and makes me feel like I am someplace special. It brings on a certain sense of satisfaction, like having eaten a good meal.

Hunter (dark) green Similar to the navy blue, this dark shade of green makes me feel smart and confident.

Spa blue This light blue-green shade, which is incredibly popular, mimics the color of water and creates a clean, fresh sensation. Although spa blue tends to be calming, it can also feel a bit chilly. Most people, however, find it peaceful and refreshing. I do, too, so I can understand why it’s so trendy.

tudies have proven that the color of a room can evoke feelings and affect your mood.

In my experience, the color of the walls definitely makes an impression, even though you may not be totally aware of it at the time.

Now, I’m not saying that a room painted pink is going to take the place of an antidepressant — but it could provide a subtle tweak to your disposition.

Depending on the color, I feel differently about various rooms. Here are my thoughts on certain colors:

VAIL VALLEY HOME | april 2014

White White walls work well in many situations, and I frequently recommend them. But sometimes it all seems too simple, and I wonder what the room might have looked like with an actual color.

In many cases, though, white rooms work well with contemporary design because the walls are still and quiet, providing a nice backdrop for modern furnishings.

Yellow Rooms painted in lemon yellow and similar shades make me feel out of place, especially in the Rocky Mountains. Lemon yellow rooms around here don’t complement our landscape and surroundings. This can be remedied by

adding a little brown into the mix, creating a nice yellow tan, which makes the room feel warm and snuggly. Yellow gold is another option and, when combined with the proper furniture, can produce a pleasing, elegant look.

Pink Optimistic, surprising, flirty — that’s how a pink room makes me feel. To be honest, I think there’s an unfounded bias against pink walls and they should probably be used more. The ongoing perception is that pink is for girls and girls’ rooms — but that’s not necessarily the case.

In my previous house, I painted my living room a lovely pink and it turned out to be quite positive

and pleasing. Most friends (not to mention the contractor) thought I was insane, but it looked great and didn’t seem like the typical “pink room.” The walls blended in beautifully with the room’s greens and earth tones.

THE BOTTOM LINE The bottom line is this: There’s no right or wrong when you choose a room’s color. Just

tune into your feelings. And you might just find yourself full of pride in a navy blue room, flirty in a pink room or jubilant in a yellow one.

epending on your perspective, the word vintage might inspire images of ‘50s roadsters or Roaring Twenties ad campaigns, but in Beaver Creek’s original neighborhoods it means one thing: ‘80s-era architecture. And sometimes it’s just got to go.

the scene. The principal and owner of KH Webb Architects has spent the past 22 years designing new builds and remodels both in and outside of the valley. He recently completed a remodel in Beaver Creek for clients he’d worked with before.

“It was vintage early ‘80s: It had not been touched,” he says

about the property at 406 Holden Road. “We reinvented the house from scratch. It wasn’t torn down because the roof remained, but every wall was reconstructed. We changed the garage configuration, put the kitchen in a different place — changed everything.”

Despite all the changes, they really go back to one key idea:

how space is used in a home.

“More than anything these days, when we modernize a house we set it up differently than in the past,” Webb explains. “We try to sleep a lot of people, so everyone wants a bunk room. And homes are meant to be gathering places for family and friends. You need to accommodate several groups

406 Holden Road was typical for its age: stucco, plaster, stone, wood trim and rough-sawn beams.

But that’s all a distant memory.

The new-and-improved version includes a focus on natural stone and materials, a great fit for the mountains. Loads of custom finishes, wooden floors and a complete mechanical-systems update completed the home’s “bone structure,” which was then embellished by interior design.

“It’s a sophisticated house,” says Heidi Bintz, the listing broker for the property. “Despite the size, it’s a very comfortable house.”

That size is daunting — eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms. But it’s laid out in such a way as to allow for areas of privacy as well as gathering spaces. The great room has an enormous four-sided fireplace built of stone right in the middle. It serves as

esign and décor isn’t limited to inside the house; outdoor spaces require as much thought — and can be just as rewarding. Pull together the look with a rug made for the outdoors. All styles availabe at Select Surfaces in Avon.

Couristan Dolce Perfect for spaces that see a lot of water and moisture, Dolce’s flat-woven construction makes it durable, while the UV stabilization finish protects the colors. Pretty enough for inside and outside areas, the power-loomed indoor/outdoor line comes in a wide variety of colors.

Invoking the laid-back feel of the islands, Couristan’s Grand Cayman line is hand-woven in India. Reversible, UV stabilized and mold/ mildew resistant, they’re perfect for activityprone areas inside and outside the home. These outdoor/indoor performance area rugs offer relaxed, casual stripe and geometric patterns in a nautical color palette featuring terra cotta, navy, sage and ivory.

Intricate Illumination E

ven the most ancient styles of art are still making their way into modern home interiors. Blown glass sculptures, installations and chandeliers give the classic craft a contemporary feel.

“With the change of the overall architectural designs, and thus also interior designs, here in the mountains, we do see that shift from more traditional, mountain standards, to more urban, minimal trends,” explains Eva Pobjecka, director of PISMO Contemporary Art Glass gallery in Vail Village.

30

VAIL VALLEY HOME | april 2014

Housing styles are not muted in the sense of size, she says, but in decorating, with sleeker lines, simpler shapes and softer colors.

There is still a demand for “Murano style” decorating, she says, which includes flamboyant shapes and colors, but main themes surround the classic Le Corbusier motto: Less is more.

Pobjecka says this minimalist style resonates with the request of PISMO’s clients.

Versatile style Blowing glass with a blowpipe goes back to the last century BC.

Blown glass fills a space with artisanal spirit photos by Anthony Thornton • by Kim Fuller

The process isn’t complicated to explain, but very difficult to do.

To begin, glass is liquid when it is melted with heat, and it becomes solid when it is cooled.

“Imagine how many shapes, how many looks you can achieve with this dual state,” Pobjecka shares. “Adding various metallic oxides into molten clear glass leads into almost endless color effects, which can completely change the appearance of a glass vessel.”

This versatility often can evoke an illusion of life in a piece, Pobjecka explains, because the same piece will look different in the

morning sun and different with a lamp’s illumination. The dynamic options created from the blown glass medium are why the sculptures can bring such a unique complement to the interior of a home.

Glassblowing is only one of the methods of art that works with hot glass.

“Many contemporary glass artists can also cast glass into an array of molds, and they can fuse glass in incredible patterns,” she says.

Artists also employ lampworking and torch work to mold glass, meaning they use oil lamps and torches to heat up tubes of glass.

There is a glassblower about 30 minutes from Vail in Frisco — John Hudnut’s studio is called GatherHouse — but Pobjecka explains that glassblowers are few and far between, especially in the mountains. She does have a longstanding connection with someone she calls a “pioneer of blown glass,” who is based in Denver.

A sensory experience Kit Karber co-owns and operates Blake Street Glass (since 1979), now with business partner and craftsman Dmitri Rudenko, who has been with the glass shop for 15 years.

Karber says he no longer sells through galleries, but rather takes individual consultations and travels with his work and attends art shows.

“The way I have approached the glass since the beginning of my business is to try to create objects that are not necessarily functional, but they speak to form and light and color,” he explains.

The primary purpose of Karber’s work is to hold imagination and light. He says that the techniques have been perfected over the years, combined with hours (and now decades) of preparations, in order to produce a visual experience that leaves a lasting impression.

32

VAIL VALLEY HOME | april 2014

Blown glass art pieces, Karber explains, add a unique touch to the angle of every room — to all the intricate facets of interior design.

“Because it’s a piece of artwork, it’s not a fixed object,” he says.

“The light in your home changes throughout the year, and the piece can take on a whole new perspective, depending on the light of the day or the season.”

Production process To make a piece, Karber gathers melted glass on the end of a blowpipe, which is four-and-and-a-

half feet long, and just over two inches in diameter. Layer by layer, he gathers more glass and applies a thread of color, allowing one segment to cool before adding another.

Karber says he will have about 26 pounds of glass at the end of the blowpipe after a sixth gather of glass.

“It takes me several hours to gather that much glass, cool it and color it,” he says. “Once you start, you commit to follow it through; you can’t just stop and have lunch.”

After the shape is complete, an assistant breaks the piece away from the blowpipe to allow it to cool to room temperature. It is then cut with a large diamond saw and put into an annealer to cool for four days.

Rudenko is responsible or cutting, polishing and ensuring quality control to every piece, Karber says. It takes four to eight weeks to polish the surface of the glass, depending on the size of the piece.

Larger pieces can take Karber and Rudenko a total of up to six months, which is why the most expensive works can be more than $10,000 per piece.

Karber says he has never made two pieces alike, and that it is important to recognize the uniqueness of each art form. Additionally, he loves experimenting with new color combinations.

The glass pieces are cut the same way as gems, he explains, except that his tools are 100 times the size.

“I see them almost like jewelry in your home,” Karber says. “Like your house is wearing a piece of jewelry.”

The light in your home changes throughout the year, and the piece can take on a whole new perspective, depending on the light of the day or the season.

Shining Bright Solaris has become a new town center for all to enjoy

T

he name Solaris originated as a Greek name, a name that means “of the sun.” Solaris in Vail might not be the center of the universe, but it has certainly created its own solar system that has pulled many residents and visitors into its magnetic embrace.

The original vision of Peter Knobel, Solaris’ developer, along

44

VAIL VALLEY HOME | april 2014

with Barnes Coy Architects, was to fill a gap that they felt existed in Vail Village, and that gap was a proper city center. Their vision was to develop an innovative mixed-use center that was analogous to a town square.

The design for the massive structure of 547,000 square feet abandoned the Bavarian style indigenous to the original Village

for a contemporary mountain look. “Solaris weds the timeless beauty and charm of the ski chalets and village centers of Austria and Switzerland with a modern sensibility and the most up-to-date building technology… the exterior and interior details… tie the building into the historical log-and-timber tradition of the Rocky Mountain West,” says

Barnes Coy Architects.

The desire to create a charming, proper town center inspired designers to develop a new urban image and pedestrian flow that weaves past terraced shopping “streets” complete with a lovely ice-skating rink at its nucleus.

Replacing the long-standing Crossroads center, the elegant public plaza welcomes guests and

The new town square did not advance without controversy.

The building’s height put Solaris in the dubious position of tallest building in Vail at 113 feet, and there were many who fought to keep this “sun” out of the Vail Village universe.

However, the stars finally aligned and the shining new town center has definitely developed its own gravitational pull to all of the people who are floating within its energy field. And it appears that every experience at Solaris is eclipsed by the next.

tial increases, foreshadowing some noteworthy trends to watch in 2014, including a somewhat predictable rise in seller activity, more new construction, and a continued decrease in foreclosures.

January 2014 reports revealed a slight increase in homes for sale, particularly in the single family and duplex market with new listings up 7.5 percent over

January 2013. However, town home and condominium property listings were down 3.6 percent.

This could be a result of a 24.4 percent rise in pending sales for multi-family properties. More properties under contract means less properties on the market.

Although this positive uptick in home listings is great to see, it’s just not enough to satiate buyers

who are eager to get into our resort community while interest rates are still low.

Luxury home market shows exciting promise Standout statistics in January were a 75.8 percent increase in median sales price for single family/duplex properties and a 103.8 percent increase in the

townhouse/condo market — two big jumps over this time last year.

Couple that with sellers consistently receiving their list price (or very close to it) and we have some positively exciting results for January. Seller pricing confidence is getting stronger yet seems to remain realistic as buyers continue to answer with approval through pending sales.

These dramatic increases are most recognizable in the luxury market and quite possibly are skewing the overall results. A median sales price is a number that lands between the highest and lowest prices. With multimillion dollar home pricing at the high end of the market, the median rises quickly. Michael Routh, seasoned real estate professional with the Rocky Mountain Home Team at Keller Williams Realty, commented on the increase with anecdotes from his own experience.

“What struck me the most about January was not the increase in activity year-over-year so much as the dollar volume of sales and contracts. For example, in Vail Village and Lionshead we saw over $80 million in homes and condos go under contract. We expect many of those to close between February and March,” Routh said. “In fact, this January over $24 million in properties closed in these same luxury markets compared to $4.5 million in January 2013… That’s an increase of more than five times over last year! It would appear that our luxury markets are making a big turn.”

But again, we must not get ahead of ourselves. Remember, slow and steady. Although the luxury market numbers are most likely distorting the general data for January, the results are encouraging nonetheless.

It should be noted, however, even though pending and closed sales are up, the supply of properties for sale is still down. Single family/ duplex properties fell 8.2 percent and the townhouse/condo market is down even more at 14.4 percent.

Indeed, these numbers should be encouraging for those considering the sale of a property. Demand is high and supply is low.

Time to get a fresh perspective Now is a great time for skeptical sellers to reassess their options considering the current market activity and low number of property listings. Reach out to your trusted real estate professional for a fresh comparative analysis within your community. Each Vail Valley neighborhood can and will behave differently from the next. We know the luxury market is making some impressive strides. It stands to reason the rest of the Vail Valley will follow suit with consistent growth.

The comps you may have received six months to a year ago are more than likely different now.

According to Vail Board of REALTORS Board Director and Broker Associate at Berkshire Hathaway, Valerie Valene, there is a lot of competition in markets with price ranges just below the 2014 jumbo loan cut off currently holding at $625,000.

“I have savvy clients who are ready to purchase a home but we just aren’t seeing enough properties. More affordable residences in the price range of $150,000 to $350,000 are getting multiple offers and typically go under contract within days of hitting the market. And properties within the $350,000 to $625,000 price range, well, there just isn’t really anything on the market right now,” says Valene. “Winter is a great time to list a property, contrary to what some might believe. And if a previously hesitant seller decides to come to the market between now and late spring, before the summer rush in late May to June, I’d say they would be pretty successful with a realistic price based on current comps.”

Consistent growth is a positive trend and an important factor in the real estate market recovery.

Other variables will continue to affect the market such as political mid-term elections, interest rates and job growth, so pay close attention to the mortgage loan and job market campaign rhetoric. Interest rates remain low but don’t be surprised if they start creeping up in 2014. Lenders are also watching the stabilizing trend.

Fi nder Light and bright window treatments create intimacy while letting the outside in

by Kimberly Nicoletti

N

early every mountainhome window presents a picture, whether it’s a patch of blue sky, snow-covered bases of pines or aspens, or sunsetswept apexes. And just as the large expanses of glass expose each picture, so to speak, window treatments frame the High Country views, making them complete.

H ome D é cor

Window treatments are trending toward lighter, more contemporary looks that take on a number of duties, including ultraviolet protection, privacy, aesthetics and sound absorption. Gone is the over-the-top drama, ornately overdone with flowery, heavy draperies, smacking of velvet, tapestry, fringe and stiff pleats.

“There’s a more casual feeling; it’s looser,” said Elizabeth Basso, owner of Basso Interiors Inc., in Eagle. “It doesn’t look like your 60

grandma’s perfect draperies.”

Homeowners are moving toward softer fabric linens, with perhaps a taped edge, and less fullness than they have in the past, said Slifer Designs interior designer Frances Karsh. They are also choosing fewer options, which range from panels and sheers to solar rollers, Roman shades and more.

“In the past, people wanted it all,” Karsh said. “Now they’re keeping it more

simple, either going for less sheers or just Romans.”

It’s sheer preference Though Karsh sees many clients taking down sheers because they employ solar shades or the like, homeowners still choose sheers to create a soft, intimate look.

Sarah Carr, owner of Sarah Carr Design in Vail, recently added sheers with a contemporary leaf pattern on bedroom windows in a Mountain Star home, which

overlooks aspens. The homeowner had lived without window treatments until neighbors moved in; then she added non-transparent sheers for privacy.

“This client didn’t even like window treatments, but she loved (the sheers),” Carr said.

Eddy Doumas, owner of Worth Interiors in Vail, is also seeing an increased demand for sheers, especially colored and patterned ones. Contemporary sheers are made of a variety of materials, from cotton to wool and alpaca, the latter of which he says have a very luxurious texture that makes them hang beautifully. He prefers sheers because they can frame a view when opened, soften a room, reduce ultraviolet rays, and provide a silhouette of a view when closed.

“Sheers add romance and intimacy to a bedroom,” Basso said, adding that they can also be pleated fully on top to enhance a romantic feel.

Sarah McCoy, owner of McCoy Design Firm in Edwards, installs sheers in the reverse manner than they are traditionally used; she often hangs them on a front rod to hide a roller shade header. During the day, the sheers provide privacy, and at night, sheers provide a soft, finished look, rather than the more functional look of a roller shade.

“I tend to be simpler on my sheer style and not make it so heavy,” McCoy said.

Neatly stacked panels

In keeping with a lighter, brighter look, panels tend to be stacked tightly back, with a simplified silhouette, so as not to infringe upon the window.

“It’s all about the view,” Karsh said.

She tends to use French pleats or top pleats, which she says stack better than metal rings or a goblet pleat.

Depending upon the application, sometimes Basso likes to frame windows with fabric on valences, or allow extra material to hang loosely on the floor to create a softer feel.

“It helps with sound, especially in big spaces,” she said, “and it adds an intimacy that, with some of these big homes, might (otherwise be lacking).” april 2014 | VAIL VALLEY HOME

A shady approach Roman shades, which most homeowners order to open from the top up to maximize both privacy and mountain views, work well with windows that don’t have much wall space on either side to accommodate panels. They also provide a flexible option for light control. Most are automated, so that homeowners can easily adjust them with a touch of a button.

Lined shades afford more privacy and blackout capacity than unlined linens. Inside mount, flat-panel Roman shades give the cleanest, lightest look.

Grass shades are very popular in Vail Valley homes because they offer a natural, light feel.

The woven sea grass and bamboo materials provide an organic look, with an emphasis on texture.

Though neutral colors continue to be the perennial favorite, some colors are beginning to make their way into homes as accents, especially vibrant orange, raspberry and purple.

Rather than incorporate colors in patterns, which can make the room look too busy, interior designers tend to blend accent colors with window treatments, such as tapes, and then pick up the colors in surrounding pillows and other smaller pieces. Color blocking — for example, adding purple edge banding at the sides or top and bottom to a white mid-section — is another way to incorporate color without making it look too heavy, McCoy said.

Textural fabrics, such as stripes or light leaf patterns, can also lighten and brighten a home.

In keeping with the light, contemporary trend, wooden or metal rods tend to be small and rectangular, with a simple, rather than ornate, end cap.

“Window treatments can generally make a statement and add a lot of warmth and richness, and really make the room look complete,” Carr said.

“It dresses up a window with texture,” Karsh said.

They also allow for privacy without blocking out all of the sunlight.

For more UV protection, homeowners install solar shades. Most rollers can be built into a header, either during or after construction; when they’re not built-in during construction, interior designers use materials ranging from marble or wood to fabrics to conceal rollers.

Window treatments: the finishing piece Many times, window treat-

ments become an extension of the architecture, and either work to contrast or mirror it. For example, a heavy timber home might feature soft fabrics to add a lighter, more feminine quality to the more masculine construction materials. Or, a modern home, full of windows, may use the bare minimum amount of inside-mounted shades to show off views and sleek window casing.

“A window treatment frames a window out, adds softness, and (provides) the obvious light control and privacy,” Basso said, “but it also adds that finishing touch.”

A

t this time of the year, the parking lot at Colorado Alpines & Wildflower Farm in Edwards is dusted with snow, just like most gardens in the Vail Valley. But come summer, this place will be blossoming with plant life that’s ready to soak up the sun.

Even though gardening might seem like a distant thought for those of us who are still outside shoveling snow, Stacey Jones of the Colorado Alpines & Wildflower Farm team is busy prepping for a wild burst of activity that’s only a few short weeks away. In the meantime, she has a bit of time to share her notes with aspiring high-altitude gardeners, from first-timers to seasoned growers alike.

DON’T BE DETERRED Gardening at high altitudes isn’t issue-free, but it’s not as difficult as some might think. The primary challenges stem from a short growing season and a dry climate, coupled with finicky soil and abrupt temperature shifts.

Add in the additional headaches caused by marauding critters, such as deer or other garden pests, and you might be throwing down your trowel in frustration before the first week in July.

But if you’re insistent on growing a garden at a high altitude, then don’t be deterred. There are plenty of reasons to venture forth into such challenging terrain. Growing your own herbs for a flavor punch in homemade meals or muddling fresh mint for a refreshing summer’s eve mojito are just a few ways that you’ll reap rewards from the effort you put into tending a garden, whether it consists of a few small containers or a plot that’s bigger than your bedroom.

“Don’t think that gardening is all black and white,” says Jones.

“Many people have different strategies that work.” Which is hopeful for those who like to experiment and try new things, come summer. But for now, it’s time to

plan and dream, time to imagine watching those tender shoots sprout up from the Earth, time to gather the knowledge and inspiration that will make it happen.

START SMALL If you’ve never grown a high-altitude garden before, then begin with a realistic goal so that you can have a successful first season.

Consider planting either a container garden or a small-sized plot in your yard, and then add in an additional challenge each year.

“If you’re tending your first garden, I’d suggest starting with low-maintenance and hardy perennials,” says Jones. “Most gardeners aren’t successful with vegetables in their first year, and you’ll likely encounter more challenges than successes until you gain experience. Instead, include herbs in your perennial garden,” she says.

Planting a container garden will likely be more manageable than planting a plot if you’re a first-time high-altitude gar-

dener. Containers are mobile, and if early- or late-season frost threatens your garden, then you can move them indoors for the night. Containers can also add a fun pop of color to a deck, yard, or walkway. And you can even choose containers with wheeled bases so that you can roll them easily into a protected location.

If you choose to plant from seed, whether you’re planting in a container or in a small plot, then choose cool-season seeds with short yield times. Usually these details are written on the on the

seed packet, and local high-altitude gardening gurus, such as the ones at Colorado Alpines & Wildflower Farm, can also help guide you towards the best choices.

Pre-planned garden kits, such as Garden-In-A-Box from the Boulder-based Center for ReSource Conservation, can also help high-altitude gardeners achieve success. With its easy, plant-bynumber approach, Garden-In-ABox includes a selection of plants that grow well together while promoting water-efficient gardening and landscaping, which is

CHOOSE A CHALLENGE If you’re imagining a simmering pot of puttanesca sauce on your stove, chock full of chunky homegrown tomatoes, then maybe it’s time to try growing a few more challenging plants or construct ways to extend the growing season with a cold frame or even a small greenhouse.

Tomatoes have longer yield times than other quick-growing cool-season plants, such as many types of greens, and they can also be sensitive to soil conditions and bugs. Tomatoes, like other plants that prefer warmer growing seasons, will often need to be seeded indoors and then planted outside as pretty large, healthy plants so that they’re more resistant to environmental factors. They also need more upkeep, including pruning, and daily, eagle-eye attention.

“Get a magnifying glass if you’re growing vegetables,” says Jones. “Experience with high-altitude gardening will contribute to The Plant-By-Number Garden Kit greater success, but you also need to be very in tune with If you like the idea of having your garden already mapped out, seeded, and ready to plant in the your plants.” If you ground come June, then check out Garden-In-A-Box. notice any signs of The new Alpine Meadows Garden kit will: yellowing or spotting leaves, bugs, mushy roots, or spotty • Contain design layout and instructions for a stems, then you’ll 100-square-foot plot. need to address the • Include 29 multi-colored flowering perennials, problem quickly hardy up to 10,000 feet. to avoid having it • Bloom in the summer and fall, year after year. destroy your crop.

If you’re new to gardening, you might appreciate this user-friendly approach that comes with a plant map and instructions for each plant species, including watering information and other good-to-know details about what pollinators it will likely attract.

Seed packets purchased from garden retailers such as Colorado Alpines & Wildflower Farm also often include information about plant care, and the garden staff there will be willing to advise you in designing the layout of your plot when you’re ready to move from starting small to going big, and even bigger, with your garden.

grow in high-altitude conditions.

Other more advanced high-altitude gardening strategies include building a greenhouse and installing irrigation systems.

Growing vegetables such as peppers, eggplant and squash could all be challenging to grow in this climate because they prefer warmer weather and moisture-rich soil. So if you’re dreaming up a dish of homegrown eggplant parmesan following your puttanesca sauce success, then get out your work gloves for some high-altitude garden engineering.

Of course, if you choose to embrace a new challenge with your garden this summer, you won’t be alone. The folks at Colorado Alpines & Wildflower Farm are experienced and friendly; plus, they’ve got a wide selection of

books and how-to pamphlets that will arm you with the advice you’ll need this spring as you begin planning your garden.

In the past few years, community garden interest has also blossomed, so seek advice from your neighbors and friends who are making use of community garden plots in Vail, Minturn, Eagle-Vail, Eagle, and Avon.

Finally, even if you fail in the process, you’ll likely walk away from your high-altitude gardening attempt with more than dirty hands. You’ll gain a greater appreciation for what it takes to grow flowers and food. You’ll learn more about the landscape you love. And maybe you’ll succeed in growing a single sprig of mint that you can use to garnish a cocktail this summer.

REMEMBER THIS SPRING! Whether you are Re-modeling, Re-decorating, or Re-furnishing don’t forget to Re-member the Habitat ReStore!

We’ll Re-move your gently used furniture, appliances, and building materials for a Re-markable cause.
