History of Bookcliff Gardens

Bookcliff Gardens is where quality, selection, and service come together to create the premiere garden center and nursery in the Western Colorado region. Located in Grand Junction, Bookcliff Gardens began in 1968 as Mesa Matoes. The hothouse tomatoes grown in our greenhouses satisfied tomato lovers during the long, bland months of winter.

The enterprise soon expanded into carnation growing for the cut flower market, and bedding plants were added a couple of years later. Growth in the Grand Valley in the late 70s created a need for a reliable source for nursery stock.   We shifted our focus to meet the needs of the home gardener by adding landscape plants. In the early 80s, we added our award-winning landscape division to round out our commitment to being the valley’s most complete gardening resource.
