Colorado Home and Garden Show 2016

Colorado Home Show

Feature Garden at the 2016 Spring Colorado Home Show.

Aspen Falls Was honored to be a feature garden for the Colorado Home Show for the second year in a row! The theme was Mountain Mediterranean. The team did a great job with the design and implementation from the beginning to end. Just to you give you and idea of how it all works I’ll briefly take it from the beginning. In order to be a feature garden, you must submit a concept and design. Once accepted out of hundreds of landscape companies the process begins. The design team puts in the work of making sure everything is designed correctly to scale and then the ordering begins. This is anywhere from 5-7 months prior to the opening of the show. The ordering is crucial to the garden as there is no room for error, as with any garden plants are a huge factor. You may wonder how we receive plants in the middle of winter, well its a matter of placing an order and having them sent to our local nurseries green house to force bloom. As we approach the date of the show by 2 weeks our teams start building in sections part of our garden at our shop, pergolas, water features, outdoor kitchens etc. This will save crucial time once we are allowed access at the convention center. When day 1 hits us our crews are off installing for 3 straight days at the show. By the 4th day we have our decorator and designers come decorate, plant flowers and stage the garden. The 5th day is making sure everything is pristine and running smoothly. On the 6th day the show is open and we welcome all our visitors.

We hope you had a chance to stop by and take a look at our garden and say hello. We love seeing existing clients as well as meeting with new ones!
