The Flower Bin is a family-owned garden center and nursery on Nelson Road in Longmont. Its website says it has been family owned and operated since 1971. The site does not name the owners.
The Flower Bin grows its own plants. The site says they come from its greenhouses at the Longmont store and from a growing range in Platteville, and that the business sits on 5 acres with nearly 40,000 square feet of indoor growing space. It bills itself as the home of Flower Bin-grown hanging baskets.
What they do
Departments listed on the site include annuals and hanging baskets, perennials and nursery stock, a rose house, cacti and succulents, houseplants, herbs, vegetables, seeds and bulbs, plus hard goods and a gift house. This fall the home page is promoting garden mums, asters and sedum, fall decor, and spring bulbs to plant now. Services include a diagnostic center, where staff will look at a sample of a plant problem and suggest a treatment, repotting at the potting bench at no extra charge, and delivery in Longmont and Boulder County.
