What We Do
Mountain Roots Garden is a family-owned garden center and nursery located in Milliken, Colorado (click here for directions).
We grow many of our plants at our greenhouses in Milliken, CO with the help of our amazing growers! We ensure the highest quality products that are already acclimated to our semi-arid Rocky Mountain climate.
Who We Are
Chris and his wife Ashley are proud to be part of the Milliken community and the heart behind Mountain Roots Gardens. With over 20 years of experience in the green industry, Chris brings deep-rooted knowledge and a genuine passion for plants. Growing up in the industry alongside his parents, Gary and Sue, Chris developed a lifelong love for gardening and quality plant care from an early age.
Mountain Roots Gardens continues a legacy of more than 30 years of growing exceptional plants from scratch. Backed by an incredible team with over 100 years of combined experience, we are dedicated to providing outstanding plants, expert advice, and friendly, down-to-earth service—all within a beautiful and welcoming environment.
We’re here to help your garden thrive, one plant at a time.
What Makes Mountain Roots Gardens Different
At Mountain Roots Gardens, we grow all our plants locally—from seed to root—right here in Colorado. That means our plants are naturally resilient, ready to handle the unpredictable weather our region is known for. Because we don’t ship out of state, we’re also reducing our environmental impact and keeping our carbon footprint low.
Our commitment to quality shows in everything we do. We’re especially proud of our hanging baskets, which we believe are the best in Colorado. Grown with care and expertise, our baskets bloom faster, grow fuller, and last longer than the average. They’re designed to bring vibrant color and life to your home and garden all season long.
And it’s not just about what’s outside—we’re indoor plant nerds too! We offer a thoughtfully curated selection of houseplant favorites and rare finds, plus a great assortment of unique pottery to match any style.
When you visit, you’ll be greeted by more than just our friendly staff—our shop dogs, Kibou and Eli, are always ready with a tail wag and a warm welcome.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, we’re here to help you create a healthier, more beautiful space to call your own.
