From Humble Beginnings to a Thriving Legacy
Country Fair Garden Center has been a trusted name in Denver for generations, dedicated to providing high-quality plants, exceptional customer service, and expert advice to gardeners of all experience levels. No matter your space, project, or gardening style, we are here to help your garden flourish.
Our story began in 1948 when Al and Esther Gerace started planting vegetables to feed their family, tending their fields with a horse-drawn plow. Their passion for growing led to the founding of Welby Gardens, which became a cornerstone of the Colorado green industry. Over the years, the business expanded, and with it, a legacy of quality, innovation, and commitment to customer satisfaction.
For decades, the Gerace family nurtured and grew the business, establishing strong partnerships with Welby Gardens, Country Fair Garden Center, Hardy Boy Plants, and HardyStarts—each known for their dedication to excellence.
Today, Country Fair Garden Center is entering a new chapter under the ownership of the Scholl family, who bring with them a fresh vision and deep-rooted passion for plants. While honoring the legacy of the Gerace family, the Scholls are committed to preserving the values and traditions that have made Country Fair a household name. Customers can continue to expect the same trusted expertise, exceptional plant selection, and personalized service that have defined us for generations.
As we move forward, our commitment remains the same: to provide the best plants, products, and gardening guidance to help you create and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting, we're here to support your green-thumb journey every step of the way.
Meet Some of the Team Below!
Industry Leaders in Innovation
When Colorado has been hit hard by drought in the past, our team doesn’t get discouraged. When strict water restrictions go into effect, we look for ways Colorado gardeners could maintain their success.
By hardening up the plants before they leave the greenhouse, we found a way to create healthier, easier-to-grow plants that could flourish in a variety of difficult growing conditions.
Helping Our Community Grow
As a family, our passion for our community is even greater than our passion for gardening. We are dedicated to giving back as much as we get from this dynamic area, as well as furthering the green industry as a whole. For example, Welby Gardens donates plants and seedlings to the local community and our two Country Fair Garden Centers donate a lot of seeds and seed supplies to teachers for class projects. Does your community, gardening group, or class need help with gardening supplies? We encourage you to pop into one of our locations and fill out a donation request form and we’ll get back to you soon!
These are just a few ways we help each other out - we believe that by helping each other in our local communities, we can ultimately help our consumers have the best products possible and bring the satisfaction of growing things to more people.
