So true, so true, how us gardeners come out of hibernation in March, ready to get everything started! Thanks for the reminder that one may need to slow things down a bit…:)

I’m not a gardener, but I still have a catalog that they sent me many, many years ago. I keep it as inspiration for if I ever take up gardening. The gardens in the illustrations are lovely. I’m sorry to hear they are out of business.

So sad news to know that Santa Fe Greenhouses and High Country Gardens will not be existed. At Present, This type of high country Garden is needed. Due to increase of urbanization Places are going to be short so that flowering, gardening & forest are going to be impossible. I appreciate nursery business to spread their areas.

Goodbye to Santa Fe Greenhouses and High Country Gardens. As the owner of a production and retail nursery (Trees That Please) its always sad to see one of our companions in business disappear. Out of the 18 independently owned nursery’s in the Albuquerque metro in the 90′s only Trees That Please and Plants of the Southwest survive under the same ownership. The past three decades has been tough for even Trees That Please as the introduction of discount box stores has ruined the economy of the independent nursery in the United States. If it weren’t for the fact that TTP grows most of its own shade, ornamental and fruit trees, its likely we would be gone as well. Santa Fe Greenhouses and High Country Gardens have always exemplified good service with excellent quality plants, something not obtainable from the Box Stores. It’s time the public go back to supporting local small businesses, which in turn helps the local economy. We must stop shipping our money out of town!

Mighty ‘Mato is awesome – and right now is the perfect time to plant. My plants are already looking impressive! They arrived only a few days after I ordered them and I couldn’t believe how easy it was. I would recommend these to anybody! Check it out (I went with the combo pack) http://www.mightymato.com/store/tomato-plants.html
