Retail garden center and greenhouse. Top products: succulents, cacti, perennials, annuals, house plants, pottery, organic fertilizers. Southwest Gardens, established in 1989 by Cary West, is a prominent garden center and retail plant supplier based in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Originating from the founder's lifelong passion for horticulture—specifically orchids, cacti, and succulents—the business evolved from a wholesale greenhouse operation into a full-service destination for gardening enthusiasts. The company offers an extensive inventory of perennials, annuals, and indoor plants, and maintains one of the largest succulent and cactus collections in the region. Beyond live plant sales, Southwest Gardens provides a comprehensive selection of gardening supplies, including organic fertilizers, soils, pesticides, and high-quality pottery. With a professional staff that includes an onsite herbalist and over 70 years of combined horticultural experience, the business serves both residential gardeners and plant collectors. Operating year-round, Southwest Gardens remains dedicated to providing expert botanical guidance and premium plant products to the local community.
