What’s Going On This Summer
Art from the Hartt is opening the workshop doors this summer for open days (2-4 times a month until October) and monthly Second Saturday events. Come browse handmade Colorado art, pick up a specialty plant, or stay and paint your own pot or gnome to take home. Kids and adults welcome, no experience needed.
Open hours are generally 3-6 PM but check my Facebook page for event-specific hours.

About the Plants
I offer a variety of plants during the summer 2026 open days. I primarily offer low-desert succulents, but may also have begonias and coleus available. I purchase specialty succulents annually on my trip to Tucson. I propagate these to sell – so these aren’t varieties you will find in big box stores!
Finding Us
600 N 4th St, Montrose. Look for the striped hedge — park on the street, walk up the driveway, find the red wheelbarrow and you’ll find the garage.
