We Design and Create Gardens
Earth Love Gardens was founded upon a vision of a world living in community and authentic connection with each other through connecting with the Earth.

Keeping our food sources local and delicious, creating low-water use habitats for pollinators, and keeping our communities close-knit and warmly connected, we are making the vision a reality.
We provide:
Garden Beds & Hoop Houses
Serving the Boulder & Denver
metro area and beyond!
With top quality wood, soil & compost, and more, we provide and install everything you need to start growing!
Grow your own food at your home or create a community garden! We are with you each step of the way from design to installation to make your vision a reality. Each Garden is built on-site and custom made for you! We also create Hoop Houses for your new or existing garden beds!
We are making a real difference, too! We were the 9News Denver Hot Product Zone Awardee at the Colorado Garden & Home Show!
Boulder Public Library's Audubon Rockies Habitat Hero Native Plant Demonstration Garden
We designed and installed the new Boulder Public Library garden! The garden features about 25 varieties of native plants that provide habitat for birds and pollinators. This public space garden offers library visitors the education, inspiration, and relaxation in planting a native garden!
Native & Pollinator-Friendly and Edible Landscape Designs
We design Native & Pollinator-friendly and Edible Landscapes – both in Colorado or anywhere you may live! Listening to your wants and needs, we will visit your property or remotely design your yard to make it work for you and be friendly for the ecosystem.
With native plants to your region that serve pollinators & birds, fruit trees, gardens beds, and other edibles to serve you, your family, and your community, we help transform your yard into the garden of your dreams!
Each Landscape Design includes a detailed plan, Plant List, and 2 revisions, so we can hone in on your perfect design!
Pollinator Partnership Bee Friendly Gardening
The Pollinator Partnership and their Bee Friendly Gardening program has partnered with Earth Love Gardens to refer to our services of Landscape Design!
Earth Love Gardens will design you a Landscape Design, anywhere you may live, meeting the criteria of the Bee Friendly Gardening (BFG) program so that you can bee a BFG Member!
Your Pollinator Partnership BFG Landscape Design will include the plan of mostly native nectar and pollen-providing plants that bloom throughout the season and more!
Protect the birds & pollinators and we protect the Earth. Through our partnership with the Audubon Rockies, we can design you a bird, pollinator (and people) friendly Audubon-certified Habitat Hero Garden!
Each Habitat Hero Garden Design includes native plant species that provide food for wildlife, 3 vegetation layers (understory, midstory, overstory), water feature(s), and more!
We can also can incorporate edibles in your landscape with fruit trees, berry bushes, and more!

We created nine new redwood Garden Beds for the Milk and Honey Farm at the Boulder JCC! Community volunteers of all ages connected and grew all these vegetables and flowers in just five months!
Open Arms Assisted Living Community Garden
These custom Garden Beds are the cornerstone for the wellbeing and community of 30 assisted living residents. We designed these Garden Beds for ease of use and maximum functionality for those in walkers and wheelchairs. Area schools will also garden with the assisted living residents to experience intergenerational interaction. Visit our blog post for more information.
