As one of our Spring snow storms passed through and has almost completely melted it reminds me that Springtime in the Rockies is quickly upon us. With all the attention on the economy, jobs, the stock market, etc. I thought something about gardening with a twist would be fun and of interest.
Planting and gardening are two hobbies that many people enjoy and get a lot of satisfaction out of. The interesting question becomes, where do you get the plant? In this particular case I am talking about trees. Whether you are looking for an interesting closing gift, sprucing up your yard, being Green or looking for something for a hard to buy "someone" the gift of a tree is unusual and gives back in many different ways.
There is a small tree farm located 1 hour South of Colorado Springs called Rancho San Carlos Tree Farm. They grow deciduous trees that are happy in a Colorado climate and specialze in a pot - n - pot system. This means that the trees grow in their own pots and can be harvested year round. Grown locally they are acclimated to Colorado's climate and tend to do very well once planted, watered and cared for in a yard.
The trip down is a beautiful drive and the ranch itself is worth the trip. The savings on trees is great being able to buy directly from a tree farm. You have to call first because they are available by appointment. Call 719-485-7476 and talk to Jarrod or DeAnna.
The Rancho San Carlos Tree Farm website also has a lot of information about trees and helpful tips if you are looking but not sure what for. Click here for more information http://www.rsctreefarm.com/
