About Fossil Creek Nursery

In 1990 Jack and Christine Fetig purchased the Fossil Creek Nursery with the aspiration to supply their thriving landscaping business of 10 years, Alpine Gardens, with the best selection and finest quality plants in the area. Fossil Creek Nursery was originally founded in 1969 on an acre site of the former McCleland Fruit Orchard on College Avenue just south of Harmony Road. Over the years, Alpine Gardens had become Fossil Creek Nursery’s largest customer. So with a deep love of horticulture and a valued sense of history for Fossil Creek Nursery, they started this locally-owned family gardening tradition.

Then, in 1997 Fossil Creek Nursery was moved to its present location at 7029 South College Avenue. Fossil Creek Nursery is currently positioned on 15 beautiful acres of hillside overlooking Benson Reservoir. We offer an exquisite Garden Center and greenhouses to provide a comfortable shopping experience for you and your family. With numerous products and landscaping displays, we offer customers the inspiration to create the ultimate outdoor experience for their own homes.

Jack and Chris are both active in the business, with Jack as Alpine Garden’s head Landscape Designer and Christine as Business Manager. Through a commitment to deliver unparalleled value to their customers, the dedicated staff of long-term employees has made Fossil Creek Nursery a premier landscape and gardening center for families throughout Northern Colorado.
