In the spring of 1988 COLORADO
TREE FARM began a retail branch of our wholesale nursery (founded
1977) at Chapel Hills Mall. We
belatedly discovered that in this area we could operate only seasonally
under a temporary use business permit.
Until the 1999 season we called the retail branch of our business
Chapel Hills Nursery. Since then both wholesale and retail nurseries use
the name COLORADO TREE FARM NURSERY.
Due to my health, we will concentrate all of our focus at the new
Woodmen Road Location for both the Nursery, and for Christmas Trees
(Thanksgiving Weekend). The
Woodmen Road location (just east of Powers Blvd) will operate year round
with nursery stock, planting materials, and seasonal goods such as
Christmas trees. The very
best of lawn and garden tools and lawn furniture will also be on
hand—fully tested! |

COLORADO TREE FARM NURSERY is a family owned and operated
business. Dad and Mom minded
the retail store in the early years.
My oldest son, Levi, graduated from Colorado College in May 2002
and assumed full time management of the retail business.
His younger brothers, Matt and Joel, have been great help. Matt
finished his undergrad studies at Colorado State, and will be attending Law
School at the University of Kansas this fall. Joel has taken on a full time
roll, and is a key asset all year long. Daughter Katie keeps us all in line when she can, but her
nursing career takes most of her time now. They
have all helped in growing and handling nursery
stock since they were toddlers, so they are a great help. In
the future we plan to expand our retail business without losing our family
touch, so we are looking for “family like” outside help. If you are
interested in being “adopted”, talk to us. |
