Curated gardens for your unique needs
Growing in Colorado
We get it, gardening in Colorado has its challenges, but it’s easier than you think. We can help! We offer garden consulting, coaching and planning for gardening here on the Front Range.
Our Vision
At Gardens and Such, our vision is to cultivate creativity through horticulture-inspired garden spaces that inspire restoration, curiosity, and meaningful connection to nature. We believe gardens are more than landscapes — they are living environments that support neuro-consciousness, sensory exploration, and meaningful self-discovery.
We are dedicated to creating inclusive, nature-centered experiences where everyone can engage all senses through touch, color, texture, scent, sound, and movement. By blending sustainable horticulture practices with sensory-rich design, we strive to inspire curiosity, emotional balance, learning, and joy for every individual who enters the garden.
Our mission is to grow environments that reconnect people with nature, encourage mindful living, and empower communities through the therapeutic and transformative power of plants.
What we focus on
Children’s Sensory Gardens
Go Play in the dirt! Stop and smell, touch, taste, listen to and watch them bloom. Sensory gardens meet everyone's needs. Let us help create a play space that excites your senses and allow your family to grow and explore for many years to come.
.
Harvest Gardens
Grow your own food! A harvest is a bounty to be shared and we believe in sharing. A Harvest garden can thrive in nearly any space. We can help you determine the best place to grow, eat and share from your homestead.
Hellstrips and Waterwise Gardens
Ditch the grass! Now is the best time to remove your water dependent plants and find water wise plants that will thrive here in Colorado! Let us help you select plants for those hard to grow spaces. Coloradoscape your yard to encourage a healthy ecosystem that supports pollinators, water conservation and overall biodiversity.
