Our Services
Amy's Alpine Gardens
What do you want from your garden? Would you like something that adds a pop of color? Would you like to add more native and xeric plants? Do you want to invest in some perennial plants that will come back year after year? Would you like to make a pollinator haven? Would you like flowers, vegetables and herbs aesthetically arranged in your garden? These are all things we can accomplish
We would describe our services as 'plantscaping'. Plantscaping is a little more than basic gardening. We clean up, weed, prep, design, plant and maintain your garden. We can do as little or as much maintenance as you would like. Whether you just want a good starting point and want to water and weed your own garden or you need someone to take care of everything, including the watering, we are here to help.
We would love to chat with you about your needs. Just send us an email with a little bit about your project and photos if you have some and we can chat to see if we're a good fit. Please not we do not do any hardscaping (think rocks and gravel) or lawn care/maintenance.
Consultation
Sometimes you don't know where to start but know you already have a garden area, this is where Amy's Alpine Garden's can come to your rescue. We review your landscape and zone, help you understand which flowers and plants will thrive in your location, help you plan and then get your garden set up.
Many of our clients really appreciate this service because we help get you started so that you have a great foundation to work from.
This plan is great if you just want some help starting out your garden and can water and maintain it yourself. This is a paid service and will include a write up of my notes as well as plant recommendations in an email after the visit.
Plantscaping Design and Planting
This is for our clients that would like us to design and plant their gardens. I will come out and chat with you about colors/plants/maintenance and then come design and plant your garden. Please note for this service you will need to already have a garden bed built and preferably irrigation already installed.

~ Amy's Alpine Gardens Testimonials~
Amy’s work as head gardener in Winter Park resulted in outstanding and colorful displays of both native and hardy perennial flower beds. Over 75 beautifully designed flower beds graced the sidewalks, parks and walking paths throughout our town. She created themed beds to celebrate the Broncos, the Olympics or any colorscape you could envision. Amy prepared guides for people to learn the flowers names. She collected the seeds for replanting each year. Most of all, she led a great crew of loyal and hard working gardeners that she valued and who valued her as well.

Long time local and fellow gardener in Grand County CO ~
I give Amy 5 stars for creating a gorgeous and sustainable garden at our Grand Lake home! She has a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for alpine gardening. When she assessed our planting area, I knew immediately that she was the right one to create the garden of our dreams. After assessing the soil and the wind conditions, she knew exactly what products would give our new garden the best base to get started. Then she created a beautiful plan of varying alpine flowers, combining colors, heights and textures. She shared so many helpful tips from where to purchase local seeds to how to best maintain our plants. I enjoyed the process so much, and cannot wait to watch my garden grow!
~ Amy Crossland, Grand Lake Homeowner
Every year the gardens were colorful and beautiful and always made my day brighter by being around them!
~ Dani Jardee Town Clerk Town of Winter Park CO~
Amy's gardens in Winter Park were always well complimented by guests throughout the town. Adding color and character to the mountain landscapes along with handling the difficulties that come with high elevation plantings. With Amy's gardens, it's easy to see her green thumb on full display. In fact I think all of her fingers are green.
~ Brendan McGrath, Parks and Trails Supervisor Town of Winter Park CO~
Amy has been doing my whiskey barrels on my back patio for several years. I trust her to design an arrangement that will look amazing and last all summer.
There was one summer when right after she planted, we got a severe rainstorm which basically flooded the barrels and destroyed the flowers. Amy was kind enough to come back and replant the barrels.
I highly recommend Amy for all your garden needs. If you have ever driven through downtown Winter Park and were blown away by the beauty of the flower beds, that's the brilliance of Amy Benson's garden mastery at work.
