Where have all the flowers gone...

The 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 are 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 frequent questions to which she added common sense and humor.
CFG – Yes! 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Monday – Saturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
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.
CFG – Yes, in a plastic bag. We do diagnostics.
CFG – By the specific plant. In our store, the plants are arranged indicating sun or shade.
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.
