Harding Nursery Partnership
One of the relationships the El Paso County Conservation District has “cultivated” is with the great folks at Harding Nursery in Colorado Springs. Through their kindness and generosity, we’re able to sell conservation-wise evergreens, fruit and berry bushes, fruit trees, ornamental grasses, ornamental shrubs, perennials, roses, shade and ornamental trees, vines, and now mulch, soil, garden/yard supplies, with reduced prices and all proceeds funding our education programs and workshops to educate the community on conserving our natural resources.
How It Works:
- Ordering:
- Visit our store at https://epccd.org/store/
- or shop at the bottom of this page
- or download and print this form (four pages).
- Complete shaded areas on the form including name, email, phone, and quantities of plants you want.
- If the form doesn’t already calculate your total, please add up your total including tax.
- Email (districtmanager@epccd.org) or text (719-920-6114) a photograph or scan of your completed order form to us.
- Payment:
- If paying with cash or check, visit https://calendly.com/epccd/visit to make an appointment to visit our office and pay for your plants.
- or you may pay online with a credit card at paypal.me/epccd
- Getting your plants, mulch, soil, garden/yard supplies:
- After receiving your payment, we will provide you with a paid certificate. If you pay online, the certificate will be emailed to you and the nursery.
- 48 hours after payment, travel to Harding Nursery (about 2 miles away from our office) and present your paid certificate.
- NEW: Harding staff will already have prepared your order for pickup. You no longer have to hunt around the nursery for items matching your purchase! (Yay!)
- No money will be due at Harding; but you can easily purchase additional plants, mulch, soils, or supplies. Their billing folks will communicate the additions to us and we will contact you for additional payment.
- Please be nice to the Harding folks.
- PLEASE CONTACT US IF WE CAN HELP YOU WITH THE ONLINE STORE, ORDER FORM, AND/OR PAYMENT METHOD.
WE ARE HAPPY TO HELP! - Please enjoy your plants, mulches, soils, and garden/yard supplies. And THANK YOU for supporting the El Paso County Conservation District and our work to champion the responsible management and conservation of our finite natural resources.

 | Pollinators are essential for the health of our ecosystems and the Pikes Peak Front Range is home to a variety of them, including bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and bats. Because pollinators are facing a number of threats, including habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change, it's important to take steps to protect pollinators, like creating pollinator-friendly habitats.

 | The Pikes Peak Front Range is a semi-arid region with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. As a result, plants that grow in this region must be able to tolerate a wide range of conditions. Xeric plants are those that are adapted to dry, arid climates. They generally have deep roots that allow them to reach water deep in the soil, and they have leaves that are coated in a waxy layer that helps to prevent water loss. We are currently updating the following shrub and size combinations to provide more information about each of these options. | |
 | With proper care, ornamental grasses can add beauty and interest to your garden for many years to come. When choosing grasses for your garden, it is important to consider the amount of sunlight they will receive, the soil type, and the amount of water they need. Select a type and size combination below to see more information about each of these options. Where a more precise genus and species name is provided, please understand that availability of plants may vary and substitutions may occur. | |
