The Midwife’s Nursery

Hi, I am Cathy Hartt and I am a nurse-midwife. I helped birth many babies during my years of practice as a Certified Nurse Midwife. I have always been a plant-lover, so when I started selling plants, I named my small nursery division “The Midwife’s Nursery.”

My art store initially started selling plants on Etsy so I would have enough online listings! Now, I sell live plants primarily at my Country Flair retail location in Downtown Montrose, CO.

I will be reducing my inventory over the next year so I can concentrate on my human resilience business, ResilientStuff. It is time to put my doctorate in Nursing back to work! I do plan to carry a few plants as long as I have a location in downtown Montrose, CO.

Since I am not a large or commercial nursery, I sell a few specialty plants both online and locally. I specialize in the following:

  • Begonias – Rhizomatous and Angel wing, mostly. I offer a 20% Begonia of the Month at Country Flair in Montrose.
  • Succulents – At Country Flair, I offer live succulent planters as well as artificial succulents.

Commonly available begonias are pictured below. I select begonias that do well in Western Colorado. Due to my small nursery size, inventory fluctuates. Begonias are available at Country Flair in Montrose, CO. NOTE: My Etsy store no longer carries live plants due to shipping time and expense. However, I may occasionally have an online plant sale.
