Many of our
Phelan Garden’s
customers living in
the Monument, Palmer Lake, Black Forest and even Briargate areas find
gardening to be more of a challenge due to the increased altitude. The
growing season is a bit shorter as the frost ends later in the spring and
returns earlier in the fall making the days and nights cooler than they
are in Colorado Springs proper. Some plants adapt well to this climate
while others have only marginal success. In addition, wildlife issues
become more of a concern in these areas with questions being brought to us
regularly on what to do about the deer in particular. In an effort to
address the challenges of gardening in a higher altitude we have compiled
a list of web links that offer many excellent recommendations including
plants that will do best in higher elevations.
We carry the plants, soil amendments and mulches that will aid in your
gardening success as well as products that will address wildlife control.
We also are available to answer your questions, so stop by and talk to a
Phelan staff member about your concerns and we will try to be of
assistance.
