Fall at Phelan's

As outside temperatures cool, "Big Red" comes on site for all to celebrate HARVESTS large and small (and perhaps enjoy a family photo op!).

The leaves begin to show their true colors in our Nursery, often against the backdrop of a bright blue Colorado sky. Fall flowers feed the last of the pollinators. This is a great time to see what your landscape might be missing and tuck in one or two more hardy plants.

Natural decor such as corn stalks, straw bales, pumpkins, and gourds appear along with new pottery and other seasonal items in our year-round Gift Shop and Garden Center.

As we collectively consider lessons learned this year, come see us for outdoor gardening items like tree wrap, mulch, and amendments for tucking your garden in for Winter.
