PAGE 10 | THE VILLAGER • June 11, 2020
he flowers that were so abundant at the former Country Fair Garden Center location in Southeast Denver have just moved a few miles north near Quebec and Leetsdale. We have missed that popular center and glad to see the nursery and garden store is flourishing for its fourth season in the new location. Many customers who lost touch will be delighted to see the quality and variety of offerings is still abundant. In a sit down with busy Candi Gerace who represents the third of the four-generation family business, Flair enjoyed a fun session of answers to the most frequently questions to which she added common sense and humor. Villager – Is the business
open? CFG – Yes! 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Monday – Saturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Villager – When is the time to plant? CFG – I don’t have a crystal ball, but average frost date is mid May. Villager – What is the trend this year? CFG – Seeds! Veggies! Herbs! They are flying out the door. With being at home, it’s the victory garden. Villager –Can I bring in a stressed, unhappy plant? CFG – Yes, in a plastic bag. We do diagnostics. Villager – How do I know if a plant likes sun or shade? CFG – By the specific plant. In our store, the plants are arranged indicating sun or shade.
Villager – What is the difference between annuals and perennials? CFG – Annuals last for one season. Perennials come back year after year with proper care. What sets local and nationally recognized Country Fair apart is its customer service. “It’s that plain and simple,” said Candi. “We try to give everyone the tools to be successful.” In addition to plants, the store has a huge selection of products including pots, matching saucers, gifts, accents, fertilizers and insecticides while replenishing the supply once per week. The famous Hardy Boy logo is theirs and trademarked. They supply almost every other garden center in the area and even ship to other states. Plan a visit in time for a thoughtful Father’s Day gift or…enjoy getting reacquainted.
