25 years ago, we opened our first nursery and garden center at Santa Fe Greenhouses. In 1993, we began shipping plants nationally through our High Country Gardens mail order division, and in 2000 began our online catalog which specializes in xeriscape (waterwise) perennials. In 2006, we opened our first High Country Gardens store in Albuquerque located at San Mateo/I-25; and in 2008 opened another store at the Bernalillo Jackalope location. Many of our popular award-winning plants were introduced by President and Chief Horticulturist, David Salman, a plant pioneer and nationally recognized speaker and writer on the topic of Xeriscaping.
