We are now closed for a short period this winter. We are working on inventories, price lists, and production schedules. We can be contacted by email, just click the link below and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We will re-open in early February. As soon as this year's price lists are ready we will post them on the Plant Lists page here on this web site. Until the new lists are up, please use last year's lists for reference.

We want to switch as many customers as we can over to email notification instead of sending post cards. If you want to receive E-mail notification of our sales, send us your address via the E-mail link below and ask to be added to our list. We will never give or sell your email address to anyone.

Jim & Gary Ludwig have owned & operated Pleasant Avenue Nursery for many years, this is what we're about...

Our nursery facility is located in the Arkansas River Valley in the central Colorado mountains. We’ve been growing plants that are adapted to our high desert climate since 1972. Many of the plants that we produce are native plants that occur in Colorado, from 7,000 ft. to 11,000 ft. in elevation. We are a retail and wholesale supplier of plants that can survive in the extremely dry climate of the Southern Rocky Mountains. In Buena Vista, Colorado our elevation is 8000 feet  above sea level (2438 meters) and our average annual moisture is less than 12 inches. At this time we do not have a mail order division, but we would like to invite you to visit our nursery. We're sure you'll find some hardy plants to take home with you.
