Opening for the season on April 2nd, 2012
Availability List Pages will be posted in February.

Although we are not a mail order greenhouse, we know that many experienced, new to the area, and just getting started gardeners like to plan ahead and come out with a wish list of possibilities in hand. Our Availability List Pages provide pictures along with cultural information about the plants we plan to offer. We will continue to offer
Full Tray Discounts and a Weekly Special through the 2012 season.
Gift certificates are available year-round.
Our Phone Number is: 753-5000 and our Mailing Address is:

We approach each new season as an opportunity to try new varieties, improve on growing techniques, and follow through with our goals of providing customers with useful information on growing the plants we offer. We always appreciate your emails and comments on how to improve on customer service and are happy to answer questions you may have about gardening in this area. As we celebrate our 21st year of growing, we look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting people new to the area.

Display Area Garden Garden Tour
Over the years we have come to recognize customers for whom gardening is a part of their lifestyle. They enjoy and look forward to spending time in their gardens. They've already thought through the design, prepped the area to be planted, and after going through our Availability List Pages, come in with a list of possibilities from which to make their selections. New and experienced gardeners shop with ease at Colorscapes confident that I have done my job of sorting through the myriad of shrubs, perennials, and annuals that are "out there" every season and have narrowed it down to selections based on preference, seasonal beauty, and suitability to this area's unique climate.

Raised Bed Before Raised Bed After
Gardeners are patient and have a vision of what an otherwise problematic area can be developed into. It doesn't mean that experienced gardeners don't make planting mishaps, mistakes are part of any learning process, they simply tend to be optimistic by nature (or maybe because of it) and if a plant doesn't meet expectations...it's removed. Rather than thinking of this as making a mistake, it becomes an opportunity to try something else in a newly created opening.

Garden Wall Before Garden Wall After
Garden prep is simple (notice I didn't say easy). Remove any weeds, including grass, by hand using a spading fork or shovel. Topdress with peatmoss or other organic matter and lightly till into the top 4-6 inches of soil. Level with a rake. When prepping a newly installed raised bed, water in thoroughly and add topsoil as needed to bring soil up to desired level prior to planting. This may take several weeks since the soil settles after each watering. Newly planted gardens require attention through their first growing season. It's natural for young plants, used to being coddled in the nursery, to need that extra time as they adjust to their new surroundings. It's also the best reasoning behind prepping the area and thinking through the best method of irrigation prior to planting.

Deck Containers in November Deck Containers in July
Many of us look forward each spring-early summer to planting or shopping for new container gardens. Colorscapes offers annuals in 3.5", 4", 5.5", 6", 8", and 12" pots that can be transplanted into larger pots for instant color through summer and into fall.

Veggies in ContainersWe also offer veggies; Tomatoes and Peppers, for in ground and for container gardening. Including bright, yellow annuals with veggies promotes fruit production by attracting needed pollinators, honeybees.
