Our Promises To You

When you purchase from High Country Gardens, you are supported by decades of trusted experience and our Toughest Plants Guarantee.   

At High Country Gardens, we specialize in sourcing durable, garden-tested perennials for rugged landscapes. Our premium plants and top-quality bulbs and seeds are hand-packed with care by our hardworking greenhouse team. Whether you’re growing from potted plants, plugs, seeds, or bulbs, your High Country Gardens plants are guaranteed to grow.

We recognize the care and dedication that you put into your garden, and we know that you have options when choosing where to purchase. We value the trust you’ve put in High Country Gardens, and we are committed to your success.

Our team is here to support you in creating a beautiful, sustainable yard and garden. 

Working with live plants can lead to unexpected challenges. You can trust that if challenges arise, we are here to help. As passionate gardeners ourselves, our team has experienced our fair share of garden trials. Each becomes a lesson learned, motivating us to try again. You can count on High Country Gardens to ensure that your sustainable backyard is a thriving oasis.  

Our guarantee covers all plants, bulbs, and seeds for a full year after delivery. 

A year gives plants time to establish and settle in their new home. Remember, plants have a natural lifecycle and take time to fully mature; not all will bloom in the first year. Our online learning centers and team of experts are here to help you understand what to expect.
