Experience
Echter's is one of the largest retail plant nursery and garden centers in Colorado. We grow many unusual varieties of flowers not normally found in garden centers. We offer over 2500 varieties of flowers each year. We have built our business on the quality and performance of our plants. The service offered is second to none. At least one plant doctor with a minimum of 10 years of garden center experience is on staff every day to answer customers’ questions.
All of the annuals, perennials,
roses, and poinsettias grown by Echter’s are sold at our retail store.
Echter's plants are not sold by any other location.
In addition to the plants grown in the greenhouse, Echter's sells trees and shrubs, and houseplants.
The
remodeled and expanded garden center has 70,000 square feet of display area
inside. Our patio shop has fine outdoor furniture and garden benches. We carry bird feeders, bird houses, and
excellent blends
of bird seed for the bird enthusiast. Echter’s holds many community events at no
charge. In fall Echter’s
hosts a quilt show, a glass show, and an art show. Echter’s has free
visits with Santa before Christmas collecting donations for
the
Arvada Food Bank.
At Christmas time the garden center is filled with thousands of colorful poinsettias, fresh-cut Christmas trees, fresh greens and pre-lit life-like Christmas trees.
Echter's is a family-owned business. Dave and Anne Echter are the owners. The business was started at this location in 1959. We have been a retail garden center since 1978. Echter's has 35 employees year-round and 90 during the spring season. We grow 85% of our annuals and 60% of our perennials at this site.
