My #1 Garden Center I go to! Phelan Gardens, a family-owned business in Colorado Springs, has been blooming for over 40 years. Run by siblings Mark, Monica, and Valerie Phelan, the garden center specializes in locally grown plants, from ornamentals to veggies. Monica, the co-owner, is all about balancing native species with public interest, especially in a climate like Colorado's. She's on a mission to raise awareness about the importance of preserving native plants and supporting green spaces. Plus, she's got a soft spot for bees and sustainable gardening practices. So, if you're looking to spruce up your garden or just chat about plants, Phelan Gardens is the place to be!
