Garden Starts

Every great garden starts with healthy plants.

Wild Root is building a seasonal plant nursery focused on producing strong, healthy vegetable, herb, and flower starts for home gardeners in Durango and the surrounding area.

Our goal is simple: provide high-quality plants that are ready to thrive in Southwest Colorado's unique growing conditions.

Our Growing Philosophy

Healthy starts begin long before a seed is planted.

We focus on building healthy growing media, using quality seeds, and creating strong root systems that help plants establish quickly once transplanted into the garden.

As Wild Root grows, we are developing systems that emphasize:

• Quality seed selection
• Healthy soil and compost production
• Natural growing practices
• Strong root development
• Plants adapted to local growing conditions

Healthy squash seedlings growing in pots as part of Wild Root's garden start production.
