Bath Garden Center

What Bath Garden Center does

Bath Garden Center & Nursery, operating under the corporate entity Bath Inc., is a locally owned, family-operated retail nursery and garden center founded in 1965 in Fort Collins, Colorado. The company serves residential customers across Northern Colorado through a single 2000 East Prospect Road retail location, a greenhouse growing operation, and an e-commerce storefront at shop.bathgardencenter.com offering houseplant shipping within Colorado and local delivery. Core products include trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, vegetables, herbs, flowers, garden tools, soil, fertilizers, containers, and garden decor, with a curation discipline limited to plant material proven to endure Colorado's difficult climate. Plants are grown in owned greenhouses or sourced from reputable local growers.

The business extends beyond retail plant sales into a portfolio of services operated in part through the Bath Landscape & Irrigation subsidiary, which delivers full-service residential landscape design, installation, and irrigation with a $5,000 project minimum. Additional service lines include custom annual container design, planting and delivery services, houseplant consultations, plantscaping for residential and commercial interiors, and an events and classes program featuring seasonal Makers Markets, Fantasy Festival, and Roots & Rhythm music events. The Frequent Gardener Club loyalty program supports repeat purchase behavior. Revenue is generated through one-time retail sales, project-based landscape contracts (with a design fee and 50% deposit), service fees, gift card sales, and small transaction fees from event vendor booth rentals ($50 per 10x10 booth). The company employs 101-250 people, has no disclosed outside investors, and operates exclusively within the United States.
