Paulino Gardens’ closure this summer was a sign of the times in Denver’s shifting garden center industry
With fall closing in and spring planting an entire snowy season away, the full effect of the losses Denver area garden lovers endured this summer won’t be felt for months. But some are already mourning.
Paulino Gardens, the venerable garden center and nursery that operated just north of Denver in Adams County for 62 years closed for good on July 28. Its more than six acres of greenhouse and outdoor space is slated to be plowed over to make way for warehouses, the result of the Paulino family’s $12.2 million sale of the property to industrial developer Prologis.
“I was devastated when I heard they were closing and I feel that Denver has lost a beloved treasure,” life-long customer Michele Shank told The Denver Post in a Facebook message this week. “There is nothing more life-affirming than seeing all of the beautiful and sometimes unusual plants at Paulino’s.”
