Laporte Avenue Nursery is located in Fort Collins, Colorado, between the foothills that guard our majestic Rocky Mountains to the west and the high plains to the east. At an altitude of 5,000 feet our weather is usually sunny and dry with infrequent periods of high winds and precipitation Winter temperatures can drop to –20ºF, and summer temperatures can rise to 100ºF. When our weather changes it usually happens very quickly. According to Hortus Third we are in zone 5 (–20ºF to –10ºF).

Most of our plants are hardy from zones 4-9, but we believe plants respond as much to the moisture content of the soil, wind and the intensity of the winter sun as to temperature. We heartily endorse finding out as much as possible about the conditions that prevail where a particular plant grows in the wild.

The perfect gardening gift for any occasion! We can mail the certificate with a personal message from you along with our most recent catalog or send it directly to you to present yourself.
